UNSPSC 50351802: Frozen organic chenault barberries

The variety of organic barberries known as organic chenault barberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351802 Frozen organic chenault barberries is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen produce items for institutional food service. State and local governments procuring under this code buy frozen fruits and vegetables as components of broader grocery and food-service contracts, most visibly through school nutrition programs that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The recent opportunities show that frozen produce is rarely solicited as a standalone line item; instead, it appears within comprehensive frozen-foods and grocery procurements that span hundreds of line items across produce categories, proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with active recent solicitations from city and county boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, and Rockwood R-VI). State-level procurements also appear, such as Georgia's May 2026 food-supplies bid, though the full scope is not detailed in available summaries. A single school district—Douglas County School System—issued two separate food-service RFPs in early 2026, one for fresh produce and eggs and another for main-line food supply and distribution, suggesting repeat procurement activity at the district level.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with recent solicitations from Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County School System, all posting between February and June 2026. Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI in St. Louis County) account for additional recent activity. Representative opportunities include Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, encompassing frozen products alongside fresh produce and other staples for school-year delivery; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, spanning 200+ line items including berries and specialty items; and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food bid for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies, due June 8, 2026. All school-district procurements impose Buy American provisions (typically requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, food-recall accessibility, and firm fixed pricing for the July-to-June contract year. No recent opportunities specifically isolated frozen organic barberries as a line item; the code shows little discrete recent activity and does not clearly match the actual procurement patterns documented in the summaries.
