UNSPSC 50352012: Frozen organic olallie blackberries

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

UNSPSC 50352012 Frozen organic olallie blackberries (Commodity) captures frozen specialty berries procured as components of broader school nutrition and institutional food service contracts. State and local governments buy frozen berries under this code as line items within comprehensive grocery and produce bids that supply school breakfast and lunch programs, typically bundled alongside dozens or hundreds of other frozen and fresh items rather than as standalone category purchases. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, with occasional state-level participation; recent opportunities span independent school districts (Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Early County in Georgia; Bridgeport in Connecticut; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri) and county systems. These districts source frozen berries as part of larger annual food-supply contracts that run July 1 through June 30 and are frequently renewable for multiple one-year terms at the district's discretion. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP food safety plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and USDA nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act and whole-grain enrichment tiers; pricing remains firm for the contract period with limited escalation permitted only upon documented manufacturer price increases exceeding set thresholds (typically 3–10 percent, depending on the district), supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or market index data.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary representation in Missouri. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education, encompassing frozen products alongside fresh produce and proteins; Hancock County Board of Education (Sparta, Georgia) issued an IFB for over 200 fresh-produce line items including blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026); the Douglas County School System, acting through the GEC Buying Cooperative, issued an RFP covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas for fresh produce and eggs at approximately $5.5 million annual spend (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026, now closed). Frozen berries appear as minor line items within these larger procurements rather than as primary opportunities; the code shows limited standalone demand and no recent single-commodity solicitations focused exclusively on frozen olallie blackberries.
