UNSPSC 50352007: Frozen organic jostaberries

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

UNSPSC 50352007 Frozen organic jostaberries is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchasing of frozen organic jostaberries specifically. Instead, state and local school districts are soliciting comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce contracts that span hundreds of line items—including frozen foods, fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, condiments, and related food-service supplies—to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District), with one solicitation from the State of Georgia. These jurisdictions buy food service products on annual contracts running July 1 through June 30, with firm pricing, Buy American compliance at 51 percent domestic content, HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, and delivery to central warehouses or school sites Monday through Friday.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County, Hancock County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County) and includes Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and statewide Georgia procurement. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a due date of June 30, 2026 (Solicitation BNB052266); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026 (PE67080NONST2027000000013); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026 (PE77310NONST2026000000018); and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One due March 4, 2026 (PE64810NONST2026000000047). The code shows substantial recent activity but does not reflect demand for frozen organic jostaberries as a stand-alone product—jostaberry procurement, if it occurs, is subsumed within broader produce or grocery line-item solicitations and is not separately tracked or quantified in posted opportunities.
