UNSPSC 50352706: Frozen organic mcfarlin cranberries

The variety of organic cranberries known as organic mcfarlin cranberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352706 Frozen organic mcfarlin cranberries is a Commodity code that represents a single frozen fruit product line. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on school nutrition programs sourcing frozen and fresh produce for child nutrition services, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations specifically for frozen organic mcfarlin cranberries. Instead, school districts and related public bodies are issuing bids for comprehensive grocery and fresh produce contracts that span dozens to hundreds of line items, including frozen products, fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. The issuing bodies consist primarily of county and city school districts—including Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri)—alongside the State of Georgia, which posted a broader food and kitchen products bid. School nutrition services dominate the purchasing activity, with contracts requiring USDA Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients for processed products), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP plans, food recall procedures, and delivery to multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Geographic concentration is heavily weighted toward Georgia, where multiple school systems—Douglas County, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County—posted fresh produce and food supply RFPs and IFBs between January and June 2026, with response dates ranging from February 18 through June 29, 2026. Connecticut and Missouri each show one solicitation. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ items due June 26, 2026; Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spending (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two) due March 4, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District's electronic bid for over 900 line items of grocery items due April 29, 2026. The code shows limited direct relevance to frozen organic mcfarlin cranberries specifically—recent opportunities treat individual produce items as components within large multi-category food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Vendors pursuing state and local food service contracts must navigate firm fixed pricing requirements, complex compliance documentation, insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and quarterly or midterm price adjustment mechanisms tied to USDA market data or inflation thresholds.
