UNSPSC 50357013: Frozen organic hackberries

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

UNSPSC 50357013 Frozen organic hackberries, a Commodity code, does not see meaningful activity in the recent state and local procurement opportunities reviewed. The source block contains nine opportunities tagged under this code, but all involve broad grocery, produce, and food service procurement for school nutrition programs — none of which specifically reference frozen organic hackberries or any hackberry product. The code's nominal scope (a single specialty frozen fruit item) bears no clear relationship to the work actually being solicited: comprehensive frozen food, fresh produce, and grocery supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across categories such as meats, dairy, vegetables, grains, condiments, and prepared entrees.

School districts and food authorities in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri are the primary issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block, posting IFBs and RFPs for annual or multi-year child nutrition supply contracts with response dates between February and June 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases seeking over 1,100 line items of grocery items due June 30, 2026 (IFB), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting over 200 line items of fresh produce due June 26, 2026 (IFB), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million, proposals due March 4, 2026. The code appears to be a miscategorization in the state and local system — a mismatch between the taxonomy and actual procurement activity. Firms in the specialty frozen fruit business should verify whether state and local procurement offices are using this code accurately for their products before investing in pursuit.
