UNSPSC 50352010: Frozen organic navaho blackberries

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

UNSPSC 50352010 Frozen organic navaho blackberries is a Commodity code that sits within state and local school nutrition procurement, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal direct purchasing. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems across the United States buy frozen and fresh produce to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and child nutrition services. What state and local procurement offices actually source under this broader produce category includes comprehensive frozen and fresh fruit assortments—apples, berries (blackberry, pineberry, raspberry, strawberry), melons, citrus, and specialty items—alongside vegetables, grains, dairy, and prepared entrees. School nutrition departments issue IFBs and RFPs annually, typically with contract periods from July 1 through June 30 and firm pricing throughout, and they emphasize Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety plans, USDA compliance, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and whole-grain specifications. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, municipal school districts, and city purchasing departments on behalf of school nutrition programs, with awards frequently made on a line-item basis to single or multiple vendors.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with solicitations from the Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB, June 26, 2026 response date), Early County Board of Education (300+ food items line-by-line bid, June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery IFB, May 15, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce bid, April 23, 2026), Douglas County School System serving 30 districts via GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP for fresh produce and eggs with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend, March 4, 2026), City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education (grocery items spanning 1,100+ line items including frozen products, June 30, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (900+ line-item grocery procurement, April 29, 2026), and the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and other kitchen products, June 22, 2026). All solicitations require vendor compliance with federal debarment, E-Verify, and general liability insurance (typically $1,000,000 per occurrence minimum), and most prohibit separate fuel surcharges and mandate prepaid freight to school sites.
