UNSPSC 50346701: Frozen chandler strawberries

The variety of strawberries known as chandler strawberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346701 Frozen chandler strawberries, a Commodity code, covers frozen strawberry products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care operations. Recent activity shows this code tagged across a broad mix of solicitations for comprehensive grocery and produce supply contracts rather than strawberries alone, reflecting how state and local procurement offices often bundle commodity codes within larger food-service RFPs and IFBs. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Fulton County Schools, Henry County Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring for state hospitals and state-supported living centers), and other institutional buyers including Head Start of Greater Dallas and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida. School districts dominate the recent activity, with Georgia and Texas showing the most volume.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (posted July 13, 2026; bids due July 27, 2026) for groceries spanning approximately 110 line items including frozen products for Big Spring State Hospital under a one-year term with optional extension, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for fresh produce and processed items delivered to 60 school sites under an annual contract structure with renewal options, due April 23, 2026. Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP (bids due June 24, 2026) sought frozen foods, produce, and meat products for approximately 32,409 cases annually across multiple suppliers with a weighted evaluation favoring unit price and product quality; this procurement carries a $969,460.94 estimated value funded through federal Head Start appropriations. Most school-district solicitations require firm fixed pricing with transportation included, weekly or Monday-Friday deliveries to multiple sites, compliance with USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food-recall capabilities, general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000, and E-Verify authorization. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with optional one-year renewals, and awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value rather than price alone.
