UNSPSC 50351902: Frozen organic red bearberries

The variety of organic bearberries known as organic red bearberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351902 Frozen organic red bearberries is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products purchased for institutional food service and nutrition programs. The code's narrow product scope—frozen organic red bearberries specifically—sees minimal direct purchasing activity in recent state and local procurement; instead, frozen berries and other frozen produce appear as line items within broader food and nutrition contracts, typically bundled with shelf-stable items, fresh produce, and dairy products for school lunch programs, county social services, and municipal food service operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state departments (State of Georgia), with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer segment. Recent opportunities emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions, National School Lunch Program standards, Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition requirements, USDA whole-grain specifications, and product safety certifications including HACCP plans and food recall procedures. Delivery is typically F.O.B. destination to central warehouses and school sites, Monday through Friday during daytime hours, with pricing evaluated on a per-unit or per-ounce basis.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with recent school-based food service solicitations posted by Hancock County, Early County, and Gwinnett County in Georgia, and the City of Bridgeport and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (200+ line items of fresh produce, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery items solicitation for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (1,100+ line items, bids due June 30, 2026), and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 food and non-food products bid (300+ food items and 60+ non-food items, bids due June 8, 2026). The State of Georgia posted a May 2026 food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid with due date June 22, 2026. Frozen organic berries, when specified, typically appear as low-volume line items within these broader institutional food purchases rather than as standalone solicitations.
