UNSPSC 50347014: Frozen hawthorn

The type of fruit known as hawthorn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50347014 Frozen hawthorn, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity in recent solicitations. State and local governments do not appear to be buying frozen hawthorn specifically; instead, they are procuring comprehensive food and beverage packages for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities that span frozen produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, pantry staples, and supplies. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for frozen hawthorn as a line item or standalone product.

The code's lack of alignment with current buying patterns is evident across the issuing-body mix, which spans school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton County, Henry County, Decatur, Rockwood, Bridgeport, Douglas County, Hillsborough), state institutional agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections), county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department), and Head Start providers. Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, California, New Jersey, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital due July 27, 2026, covering 110+ line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for 1,100+ grocery line items due June 30, 2026, spanning breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products due June 24, 2026, with an estimated total procurement value of $969,460.94. State procurement offices show little evidence of buying frozen hawthorn as a discretionary commodity, and this code appears misaligned with the broader institutional and school food service procurement activity it is tagged to cover.
