UNSPSC 50356211 Frozen organic gray New Mexico raspberry is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized fresh and frozen produce items procured primarily by school districts to support child nutrition and breakfast programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts buying comprehensive fresh produce inventories—apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, and tomatoes—alongside frozen grocery products, entrees, grains, dairy, condiments, and meat. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; and Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut. All solicitations require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP food safety plans with 24/7 recall capability, product samples subject to blind testing or laboratory analysis, firm pricing throughout the contract period with no fuel surcharges, and delivery Monday through Friday to multiple school sites. Vendors must carry commercial general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, maintain E-Verify authorization, and provide notarized debarment and non-collusion certifications.

Georgia and Connecticut show the heaviest recent activity under this code. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (over 200 line items, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), City of Bridgeport's grocery-items bid for over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (electronic bids due June 30, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery procurement of over 900 line items (NUTRIKIDS electronic submission due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). Contract periods run uniformly from July 1 through June 30 of the following year, with renewal options for one to three additional years at the school district's discretion. Pricing awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with school districts reserving the right to split awards across multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
