UNSPSC 50354800: Frozen organic bayberries or myrtles

The type of organic fruit known as organic bayberries or myrtles that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354800 Frozen organic bayberries or myrtles is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities supporting it show little direct procurement of frozen organic berries as a standalone category. Instead, the code's recent activity spans food service items broadly — shelf-stable staples, fresh produce, and groceries procured by school districts, county governments, and state agencies for nutrition programs. The work being solicited includes purchase of canned proteins, vegetables, rice, pasta, fresh produce (apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, citrus), dairy, meat products, and non-food supplies to support school breakfast and lunch programs and community services nutrition initiatives. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county governments, with the State of Georgia also participating. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education), and the State of Georgia have all posted solicitations in this family recently.

The code sees activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026–27, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 electronic bid for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products supporting the National School Lunch Program, with bids due June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date; Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products for the 2026–27 school year on May 11, 2026 with bids due June 8, 2026. Most opportunities require compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, and E-Verify authorization.
