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

UNSPSC 50356215 Frozen organic Munz Cuyamaca raspberry is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the taxonomy, naming a single frozen fruit product. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show virtually no activity for the specific product named. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect broad grocery and food-service procurement — frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and supplies spanning hundreds of line items per solicitation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specialty frozen raspberry product) and what is actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source system or that this code is being used as a proxy for general frozen or produce categories. The work being solicited is school nutrition and food-service contracting, with issuing bodies primarily 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, and Douglas County School System) and one state-level procurement (Georgia). These are high-volume, annual contracts supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with scopes ranging from approximately 300 line items to over 1,100 per solicitation, firm pricing through the contract term, and stringent compliance requirements including Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content minimum), HACCP food safety plans, food recall procedures, and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.
