UNSPSC 50352004: Frozen organic cherokee blackberries

The variety of organic blackberries known as organic cherokee blackberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352004 Frozen organic cherokee blackberries, a Commodity code, represents fresh and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, senior services, and other social-services food distribution. State and local buyers under this code solicit frozen berries and other produce as line items within broader food-service contracts, particularly those supporting the National School Lunch Program and breakfast initiatives. The code captures individual fruit commodities that vendors supply alongside ancillary food-service items, rather than standalone berries-only contracts; procurement bodies enforce USDA Buy American provisions (typically requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), nutritional standards compliance (including the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act), and documented food safety protocols such as HACCP plans and 24/7 recall accessibility.

Recent activity shows school districts and county social-services departments as the primary issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce including blackberries and multiple berry varieties for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027 with bids due June 26, 2026, delivered to three school sites across a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 spanning approximately 300 food items including fresh and processed produce. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) solicited shelf-stable food products for senior services under IWQ 140229 with quotes due October 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) sought over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, with bids due June 30, 2026 and subject to Connecticut-specific compliance and laboratory testing. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut school districts and county nutrition programs, with procurement cycles typically aligned to fiscal-year transitions (June–July).
