UNSPSC 50352212: Frozen organic northsky blueberries

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

UNSPSC 50352212 Frozen organic northsky blueberries is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen fruit products procured primarily by school districts for child nutrition programs. State and local governments use this code to source frozen berries and similar specialty produce items that meet USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, and Buy American domestic content provisions (typically 51 percent minimum for processed agricultural products). The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia that aggregate demand across multiple districts. School nutrition programs standardize procurement around items meeting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements, with vendors required to maintain HACCP plans, provide food recall procedures, carry liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify authorization and debarment certification. Delivery logistics are tightly specified: products ship on standard pallets to central warehouses and individual school sites on Monday–Friday schedules between early morning and early afternoon, with pricing firm for the contract period and no separate fuel or freight surcharges permitted.

Recent activity under this code is concentrated in Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri. The Douglas County School System in Georgia has issued two major RFPs—SN 26-004 (Fresh Produce and Eggs, due March 4, 2026) and SN 26-003 (Food Supply and Distribution, due February 18, 2026)—aggregating demand across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, and approximately $9,000,000 for the main-line distributor.
