UNSPSC 50347100: Frozen chokeberries

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

UNSPSC 50347100 Frozen chokeberries is a Class code that sits within the broader food supply procurement activity for state institutions and school districts, though the specific commodity—frozen chokeberries—appears rarely in actual state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly reflect procurement of grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and consumable supplies for institutional food service operations, spanning school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and Head Start programs. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state facility food service, multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Fulton County Schools), the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Head Start of Greater Dallas in Texas, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the County of Santa Clara in California, and New Jersey's Department of Human Services Division of Family Development. The mix shows school districts as the dominant issuing body, with state departments and county corrections facilities appearing less frequently.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Georgia school districts alone account for multiple concurrent procurements under this code family, including fresh produce bids from Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Henry County Schools all posting between February and June 2026. Texas HHSC has issued multiple institutional food service solicitations (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792 for statewide supplemental food and consumables with historical spend of $4.5 million).
