UNSPSC 50354802: Frozen organic bayberries

The variety of organic fruit known as organic bayberries that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354802 Frozen organic bayberries (Commodity) does not reflect the active procurement landscape for this code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this Commodity are predominantly school nutrition program grocery and produce solicitations that span frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and broad food-service categories—not frozen organic berries specifically. The Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 bid for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB, and Rockwood R-VI School District's 900-line-item grocery procurement all encompass frozen products within a much wider scope, but frozen organic bayberries do not appear as a distinct line item or commodity focus in any of the recent solicitations. School districts and their purchasing intermediaries (county boards of education, consolidated school districts) dominate the issuing-body mix, supplemented by municipal procurement offices acting on behalf of school nutrition departments. The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). The code shows material grocery-procurement activity but little or no recent demand specifically for frozen organic bayberries as a line-item commodity.

The most recent opportunities reflect school nutrition program procurement cycles aligned to the July 1 – June 30 fiscal year, with solicitations posted between January and June 2026 and response dates clustering in February through July. Representative examples include the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, Rockwood R-VI School District's April 2026 electronic bid for grocery items due April 29, 2026, the City Schools of Decatur's May 2026 IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with pre-bid conference on April 29, 2026, and Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with electronic submissions through OpenGov due June 30, 2026. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP compliance, liability insurance minimums ($500,000 to $2,000,000), firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and delivery to multiple school sites with no separate fuel surcharges. Bidders should note that frozen organic berries, if offered as a line item within broader grocery scopes, would compete against commodity-wide pricing and bulk-quantity requirements typical of school nutrition programs, not standalone specialty-produce procurement.
