UNSPSC 50352709: Frozen organic searless cranberries

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

UNSPSC 50352709 Frozen organic seedless cranberries (Commodity) captures frozen cranberry products sourced by school nutrition programs and government food services. State and local purchasing under this code reflects demand from K-12 school districts serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, where frozen cranberries appear as line items within larger multi-category grocery or produce procurements. The work solicited is not typically standalone cranberry contracts but rather supply of frozen cranberries as one component of comprehensive food-service agreements covering hundreds of items spanning proteins, produce, grains, dairy, and prepared foods. Issuing bodies are predominantly school district nutrition services, often purchasing through centralized procurement offices or cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. School districts manage the procurement internally or delegate to purchasing departments; a few opportunities reference state-level involvement (Georgia State procuring food supplies), but the bulk of recent activity originates from district-level Child Nutrition Services or Food & Nutrition Services departments.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education posted an IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items including frozen products with a June 30, 2026 due date; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) sought fresh and frozen produce with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a food bid covering 300+ items due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) posted a fresh produce annual contract bid due April 23, 2026; and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, and an RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services due February 18, 2026. All contracts emphasize Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed items), HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards under Title VII CFR and the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.
