UNSPSC 50353804: Frozen organic mountain huckleberries

The variety of organic huckleberries known as organic mountain huckleberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353804 Frozen organic mountain huckleberries is a Commodity code representing specialty produce items that state and local governments source for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. In practice, the code appears in solicitations for school district food procurement, though the recent opportunities indexed under it span the broader frozen and fresh produce categories rather than huckleberries specifically. School districts, regional boards of education, and city procurement offices on behalf of school systems issue these solicitations as IFBs and RFPs to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, requiring vendors to meet USDA Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP food safety plans, firm pricing throughout multi-year contract terms, and delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites on Monday-through-Friday schedules. Typical scope includes frozen vegetables, berries, and prepared produce items alongside fresh produce, grains, meats, dairy, and condiments in line-item bids spanning 70 to 1,100+ line items per procurement.
