UNSPSC 50356600: Frozen organic saskatoon berries

The type of organic fruit known as organic saskatoon berries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356600 Frozen organic saskatoon berries is a Class code, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows no recent opportunities; the sourcing documents reviewed do not reflect demand for frozen organic saskatoon berries as a standalone line item. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—grocery items, fresh produce, and food supply contracts for school nutrition programs across multiple jurisdictions—span a much broader scope of frozen and fresh foods, processed items, staples, and supplies that fall well outside the narrow commodity definition of frozen organic saskatoon berries. The code's abstract name and the actual work being solicited do not align.

State and local school districts and municipalities are actively procuring comprehensive food-service packages through RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs that include hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and frozen goods—with frozen berries appearing only as one potential component within much larger grocery catalogs, not as a standalone procurement focus. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County), with additional solicitations from Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and a statewide Georgia procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly school boards and districts, with support from cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. Representative recent solicitations include Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (March 4, 2026, due date, approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spend for Area One) and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items (June 26, 2026, due date). The code shows little actionable market signal for vendors specializing in frozen organic saskatoon berries; pursuit would require either reclassification to a broader food-supply code or clear evidence of a specific district's isolated demand for this item.
