UNSPSC 50357011: Frozen organic elderberries

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

UNSPSC 50357011 Frozen organic elderberries is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to procure specialty frozen fruit ingredients for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show this code appearing within broader grocery and frozen-food procurement scopes rather than as a standalone line item, reflecting how school districts and municipalities source frozen produce as part of comprehensive food-service contracts that span breakfast and lunch programs, snack items, and supplementary ingredients to meet federal nutrition standards under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with city boards of education, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing consortiums driving procurement activity. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) soliciting over 1,100 grocery line items via IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri, soliciting over 900 grocery items via electronic bid through NUTRIKIDS (due April 29, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary clusters in Connecticut and Missouri. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts across two geographic areas (estimated $4.4 million for Area One, $1.1 million for Area Two, RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026), while the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce across 72 line items via sealed bid on the Bonfire e-Procurement portal (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026). The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce comprising over 200 line items and multiple specialty produce types (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). All school-district solicitations impose Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products, HACCP plan compliance, firm pricing for the contract period with no fuel surcharges, and Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms; most contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with optional renewals of up to three additional one-year terms.
