UNSPSC 50346207: Frozen focke grayleaf red raspberry

The variety of raspberries known as focke grayleaf red raspberry that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346207 Frozen focke grayleaf red raspberry is a Commodity code covering frozen specialty berries and produce items that state and local governments purchase primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and child care centers. The code's nominal name does not align closely with the actual procurement activity: recent solicitations span broad frozen and fresh produce categories for school districts, state health agencies, and county institutions, with frozen berries representing only one line item among hundreds in multi-category food service bids. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, issuing roughly half the recent opportunities across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida, alongside state health and human services commissions procuring for hospitals and supported living centers, county boards of education, and child nutrition programs. State correctional and detention facilities also solicit frozen specialty foods under this code, as do Head Start child care networks. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026), which covers frozen foods under NIGP Classes 380 and 385 with a prior-period spend of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items including berries for the 2026–27 school year; Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce with an estimated value of $969,460.94; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fresh produce delivery under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (proposals due March 11, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $600,000).

Activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, Decatur, Fulton County schools), Texas (HHSC statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and scattered locations in Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Florida. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016590 for frozen fruit berries (40,000 pounds, due April 23, 2026), noting the prior contractor's pricing at $0.89 per pound. School nutrition programs universally require Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content), HACCP plans, 24/7 food recall capability, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on district), and compliance with USDA Smart Snack and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options for one to four additional years; pricing is firm for the initial period with adjustments permitted semi-annually based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation, capped at 3–10 percent increases depending on the district. School districts reserve the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are prominently featured in recent solicitations, though federal funding requirements encourage small and minority business participation.
