UNSPSC 50352700 Frozen organic cranberries is a Class code that captures shelf-stable and fresh food procurement by state and local agencies, though recent activity shows limited purchasing specifically for frozen organic cranberries. The recent opportunities solicited under this code span a much broader scope of food items including fresh produce, shelf-stable grocery staples, protein sources, dairy, meat, poultry, seafood, and non-food food-service supplies. State and local governments buying under this code include county boards of commissioners, school districts (both county and independent), city departments, and state agencies. School nutrition programs represent the dominant buyer category, with districts procuring food to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Purchases typically require compliance with the Buy American provision (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), USDA nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, HACCP food safety plans, and E-Verify worker verification. Vendors must meet general liability insurance requirements, often $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence, carry debarment and suspension certifications, and accept delivery on palletized, prepaid, f.o.b.-destination terms with Monday-through-Friday delivery windows.
