Any of a genus (morus of the family moraceae, the mulberry family) of trees with an edible usually purple multiple fruit that is an aggregate of juicy one-seeded drupes that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354700 Frozen organic mulberries is a Class code that classifies specialty produce items procured for school nutrition programs, though the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect sourcing of frozen organic mulberries specifically. Instead, jurisdictions are soliciting comprehensive grocery and produce packages—fresh apples, berries, vegetables, fruits, dairy, grains, condiments, meats, frozen foods, and related items—to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across multiple schools and districts. The work involves line-item bidding on hundreds of food service commodities, compliance with Buy American provisions (requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety plans, nutrition standard adherence (whole grain requirements, low sodium, no trans fats, no nuts or nut oils), delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday with firm fixed pricing including transportation, and vendor qualification through insurance, references, health inspections, and federal debarment certification. The issuing bodies are school districts and boards of education across state and local jurisdictions, ranging from individual county school systems to statewide or multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with representative opportunities including the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026 (IFB); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting over 200 fresh produce items with bids due June 26, 2026 (IFB); the State of Georgia requesting food, supplies, and kitchen products due June 22, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) seeking 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issuing an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) requesting 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area, due March 4, 2026; and Douglas County School System also seeking a main-line food distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily with estimated annual spend near $9 million, due February 18, 2026. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options of one to four additional years, payment within 30 to 45 days, and delivery requirements to central warehouses and individual school sites.
