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 is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local school nutrition procurement. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting frozen organic Cherokee blackberries; instead, state and local food-service buyers are purchasing broad grocery and produce assortments for school lunch and breakfast programs under codes that capture frozen foods, fresh produce, and general grocery items. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and the Decatur City Schools frozen foods and grocery IFB (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026) both span over 1,100 and multiple frozen and grocery line items respectively, but neither isolates specialty items like frozen organic berries. Requests for fresh produce (such as Hancock County Schools' IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative, due March 4, 2026) list blackberries and other berries as part of broader 72-plus-item fresh produce portfolios, but the source does not name frozen organic Cherokee blackberries as a separately line-itemized request in any recent posting.

School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate the recent activity—the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Decatur City Schools, and Douglas County School System are all active buyers. The Douglas County School System is running cooperative purchasing arrangements through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two areas. Geographic spread covers Georgia (multiple districts), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP plan compliance, E-Verify authorization, and firm pricing with no fuel surcharges. Because the recent opportunities block shows no targeted demand for frozen organic Cherokee blackberries as a discrete line item, the code appears to see minimal standalone activity; state and local buyers instead consolidate specialty berry purchases into broader frozen or fresh produce contracts where individual items compete on a line-item basis within large, multi-category solicitations.
