UNSPSC 50357031: Frozen organic rowanberries

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

UNSPSC 50357031 Frozen organic rowanberries is a Commodity code that identifies a niche frozen fruit product rarely encountered in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities show that this code is tagged to school nutrition and food service solicitations, but the actual purchasing activity does not target frozen organic rowanberries specifically. State and local governments procure frozen foods and fresh produce as part of broader school meal contracts, but the recent solicitations detail apples, berries (blackberry, pineberry, raspberry, strawberry), cruciferous vegetables, root crops, citrus, leafy greens, and staple frozen and grocery items — not rowanberries. The issuing bodies are school districts and city governments procuring centralized food service for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Vendors must meet USDA Buy American standards (51 percent domestic content for processed products), maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability depending on the district), comply with federal E-Verify and debarment requirements, and deliver to multiple school sites with firm pricing and no separate fuel surcharges permitted.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and surrounding states. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of produce delivery to three school locations. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, with delivery to ten school sites and optional pre-bid on April 29, 2026. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated spend of $5.5 million. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posted solicitation BNB052266 for grocery items with 1,100 line items due June 30, 2026, and the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited grocery items with over 900 line items due April 29, 2026. The code shows minimal signal for frozen organic rowanberries as a distinct procurement item; vendors should treat this code as a mislabel and focus on broader frozen fruit and grocery distribution opportunities under school nutrition contracts.
