UNSPSC 50356207: Frozen organic focke grayleaf red raspberry

The variety of organic raspberries known as organic focke grayleaf red raspberry that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356207 Frozen organic Focke grayleaf red raspberry is a Commodity code that maps nominally to specialty frozen berry products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that specific product line. The opportunities tagged with this code instead reflect broad school nutrition procurement spanning grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, and food distribution services across entire school districts and county systems. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and one state agency (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the activity, with Georgia districts appearing in multiple recent solicitations. The actual work being procured under this code reflects National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support, requiring vendors to meet USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food safety plans, whole-grain standards, sodium and nutrition limits per the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and food recall procedures with 24/7 accessibility.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. In Connecticut, the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items (over 1,100 line items) for the Board of Education with an IFB due June 30, 2026; in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education sought fresh produce (over 200 items) with bids due June 26, 2026 under IFB #SN002-2027, and Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. Additional Georgia activity includes City Schools of Decatur (frozen foods and grocery, IFB due May 15, 2026), Early County Board of Education (food and non-food products, due June 8, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (fresh produce, IFB due April 23, 2026). In Missouri, Rockwood R-VI School District solicited grocery items (over 900 line items) with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. The State of Georgia also posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity but exhibits a significant mismatch between the nominal commodity definition and actual procurement scope — vendors should note that opportunities tagged with this code encompass full-service food supply contracts rather than specialty frozen berry products alone.
