UNSPSC 50346603: Frozen smoky saskatoon berries

The variety of saskatoon berries known as smoky saskatoon berries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346603 Frozen smoky saskatoon berries, Commodity tier, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's highly specific focus on a single niche produce item contrasts sharply with the actual buying pattern under related food commodity codes, which center on broad grocery and fresh produce procurement for institutional food service across schools, hospitals, corrections facilities, and social service agencies. None of the seventeen recent state and local solicitations in the source—spanning Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, California, Missouri, Florida, and Oregon—specify frozen saskatoon berries or reference this commodity code. The sourced opportunities instead reflect demand for comprehensive frozen vegetable assortments, fresh fruit and produce portfolios, frozen novelties, dried fruits and nuts, and general grocery items spanning dozens or hundreds of line items per contract.

Institutions buying under related commodity codes emphasize volume procurement of staple frozen and fresh produce categories—frozen mixed vegetables, berries in multiple varieties (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries), fresh apples, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, and berries that support USDA nutrition standards and school lunch programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Fulton County), state health agencies (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County Sheriff), Head Start (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county social service systems (New Jersey Department of Human Services). Geographic concentration appears highest in Georgia (multiple school districts posting RFPs and ITBs in February through June 2026) and Texas (HHSC multi-facility procurements), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, Oregon, and California. The recent market shows no identifiable demand signal for frozen saskatoon berries as a standalone commodity or within itemized food service contracts.
