UNSPSC 50357008: Frozen organic cloudberries

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

UNSPSC 50357008 Frozen organic cloudberries, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specialized agricultural product—frozen organic cloudberries—but the recent opportunities posted under this classification predominantly solicit broad grocery and food service procurement from school districts, counties, and municipalities. The City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery goods (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, and root vegetables (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) are representative of the scope under this code's recent posting—multi-category food service sourcing that encompasses frozen products as a line item among dozens or hundreds of others, not specialty frozen organic berries as a standalone procurement target. The mix of issuing bodies reflects school districts as the dominant buyer (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), with one state-level solicitation (State of Georgia) and cooperative purchasing arrangements (Douglas County School System through GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts statewide).

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and the upper South (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham), with secondary posting activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood). All documented school district procurements emphasize Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, delivery to multiple school sites Monday–Friday, and compliance with National School Lunch Program nutrition standards and whole-grain requirements. None of the recent solicitations isolates frozen organic cloudberries as a line-item category or named specification; the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual procurement activity captured in recent postings. Firms competing in specialty organic frozen fruit should verify whether state and local procurement offices correctly classify this product under a more targeted commodity code, as the current tagging appears to reflect broad grocery sourcing rather than sourcing directed at organic specialty fruit vendors.
