The edible blue or blackish berry of any of several plants (genus vaccinium) of the heath family that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352200 Frozen organic blueberries is a Class code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and fresh produce items to support school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reveal that buying extends well beyond frozen blueberries alone to encompass broad grocery and fresh produce categories — including canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meats, poultry, seafood, condiments, and paper products — all subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), nutritional compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act and USDA 2024 Final Rule standards, and delivery to multiple school sites, central warehouses, or senior service centers. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, supplemented by county government departments and state purchasing offices seeking to support school lunch and breakfast programs, with Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners appearing as recent active buyers.
