UNSPSC 50356224: Frozen organic torr and gray whitebark raspberry

The variety of organic raspberries known as organic torr & gray whitebark raspberry that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356224 Frozen organic torr and gray whitebark raspberry is a Commodity code that in practice names a specific frozen berry product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen organic raspberries or specialized frozen berry products. Instead, the most active procurement under codes near this tier involves broad grocery and food-service supply contracts for school nutrition programs, which include frozen fruits and vegetables as line items within much larger commodity baskets spanning meats, dairy, grains, produce, and prepared foods. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food-service supply under related codes are predominantly school districts and school system procurement offices, supported by state education agencies and occasionally cities and counties providing meals through child nutrition services.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Georgia school systems, with significant additional activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and broader multi-state cooperative purchasing through mechanisms like the GEC Buying Cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP, responses due March 4, 2026, serving 30 districts across Georgia with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending); the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for 2026–2027 (sealed bids due May 15, 2026, ten school sites); the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (RFP, sealed bids due April 23, 2026, 60 school sites); the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in Missouri for 900+ line-item grocery items covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (electronic bids due April 29, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for the Bridgeport Board of Education spanning 1,100+ grocery items including frozen products (IFB, electronic bids due June 30, 2026); and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for 200+ fresh produce line items (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, Georgia). The code itself shows no recent solicitations specifically targeting frozen organic raspberries as a discrete commodity; vendors pursuing frozen specialty berry products should monitor school nutrition RFPs and broader food-service bids, which may reserve a small number of line items for niche products meeting Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.
