UNSPSC 50352208: Frozen organic misty blueberries

The variety of organic blueberries known as organic misty blueberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352208 Frozen organic misty blueberries, a Commodity code, covers specialty frozen fruit products sourced for institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure frozen blueberries primarily through school nutrition programs and county senior services departments supporting meal programs for vulnerable populations. The solicitations show purchasing driven by National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural sourcing, and nutritional standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements. Issuing bodies include school district boards of education (particularly nutrition services departments), county boards of commissioners, and state purchasing offices. School districts dominate the activity, with purchases typically embedded within broader food service RFQs and IFBs spanning 200+ line items of produce, proteins, dairy, and frozen products rather than as stand-alone frozen-fruit procurements.

Recent activity shows frozen fruit appearing as line items within larger food supply contracts. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce including berries for the 2026–27 school year, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables delivered to three school sites July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) sought line-by-line food bids for approximately 300+ items including fruits as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026; the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an RFQ on June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 line items spanning frozen products and produce with Buy American compliance and nutritional testing requirements. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), and the State of Georgia also solicited food supplies during the same window. Most recent opportunities originate in Georgia and Connecticut, with frozen fruit typically purchased in cases as part of standardized nutrition contracts rather than as specialty items.
