UNSPSC 50356210: Frozen organic gold raspberry

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

UNSPSC 50356210 Frozen organic gold raspberry is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products, specifically organic or premium-grade frozen raspberries, procured by state and local school districts and educational institutions to support child nutrition and school meal programs. State and local governments buying under this code are purchasing frozen berries as components of broader grocery and food-service contracts tied to National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education—including city school systems, county boards of education, and regional district networks—that consolidate frozen fruit procurement into comprehensive annual food-service solicitations requiring USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed firm pricing with no fuel surcharges. Recent opportunities show school districts sourcing frozen products as line items within larger grocery and frozen-foods contracts rather than as standalone specialty-produce procurements, indicating that frozen raspberries compete in a consolidated buying environment dominated by commodity-grade frozen and fresh produce.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia school systems, with the Douglas County School System and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issuing major produce and food-supply RFPs and IFBs in early 2026, alongside school districts in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Georgia counties (Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur). The most representative recent opportunity is the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs, posted February 4, 2026, with a February 18, 2026 questions deadline and March 4, 2026 sealed-proposal due date, covering 30 school districts across two Georgia geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, requiring five years' experience in public school systems and firm unit pricing tied to USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market pricing. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, for grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services spanning 1,100+ line items with firm fixed pricing, Buy American documentation at bid submission, and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites on a July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 contract term. No solicitations specifically targeting frozen organic raspberries as standalone products appear in the recent opportunity block; frozen berries are absorbed into line-item procurement within comprehensive school-nutrition grocery and produce contracts.
