UNSPSC 50356208: Frozen organic focke strawberry raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50356208 Frozen organic focke strawberry raspberry is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader grocery and food service supply contracts supporting school meal programs. Recent state and local opportunities show little direct solicitation targeting this specific frozen berry category in isolation; instead, frozen strawberries and raspberries appear as line items within comprehensive food and grocery procurement RFPs issued by school districts and cities. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, for example, solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items (including frozen products) for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with a due date of June 30, 2026 (IFB BNB052266). Similarly, the Decatur City Schools issued an Invitation for Bid for frozen foods and grocery items supporting its School Nutrition Program for the 2026-2027 school year (IFB PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 line items spanning snacks, fruits, vegetables, and prepared items for the 2026-27 school year (due April 29, 2026). These procurements uniformly require compliance with the National School Lunch Program, USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), whole-grain and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, HACCP plans, food recall procedures, and general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence.

Recent activity concentrating on school nutrition procurement is geographically spread across the Southeast and Midwest, with notable volume in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Decatur City Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Most solicitations use RFPs or IFBs with firm fixed pricing that includes packing and transportation to school sites, delivery Monday through Friday during school hours, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms. Procurement is typically annual (July 1 through June 30) with extension and renewal options. The code shows moderate activity across multiple issuing bodies (state departments, county and city school districts), but no recent solicitation targets frozen organic strawberries and raspberries as a standalone contract line; the commodity appears only as one item within much larger multivendor grocery and produce portfolios where award is often made line-item-by-line-item to lowest responsive bidders.
