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, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity aligned with this specific product category. The source documents five recent opportunities across Georgia, Connecticut, and related jurisdictions, none of which explicitly reference frozen organic jostaberries or berry-specific procurement. The posted solicitations focus instead on broad food service categories: shelf-stable staples and canned goods (Gwinnett County), comprehensive grocery and breakfast items for school nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport and Hancock County Schools), fresh produce for school lunch programs (Hancock County), and mixed food and non-food supplies for school districts (Early County and State of Georgia). While fresh berries appear as line items within broader fresh-produce requests—notably in Hancock County Schools' 200+ line-item bid that spans blackberry, raspberry, and strawberry—none of the recent solicitations explicitly call for frozen berry products or specifically target jostaberries at any processing stage.

The issuing bodies span school boards (Hancock County, Early County, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). The geographic concentration is primarily Georgia (three school districts and two state/county opportunities in Gwinnett and Early counties) and Connecticut (Bridgeport). The representative recent opportunities—Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026, and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026—indicate that state and local food procurement favors broad commodity bundling and fresh or minimally processed products to support National School Lunch Program compliance and Buy American requirements. Code 50352007 shows little relevant recent activity; procurement professionals should monitor higher-level food commodity codes (fresh produce and frozen-food families) rather than expect direct opportunities under this narrow jostaberry classification.
