UNSPSC 50352008: Frozen organic loganberries

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

UNSPSC 50352008 Frozen organic loganberries is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice actually encompasses broader frozen and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, often tagged under this code despite spanning multiple produce categories and processed items. School districts solicit frozen produce items alongside fresh produce, vegetables, fruits, berries, and related grocery goods under single comprehensive nutrition bids that span hundreds of line items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, supported by cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative, which pools demand across 30+ districts. These procurements fund National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations and carry Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP plan mandates, food safety compliance, nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and firm pricing with limited escalation provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation.
