UNSPSC 50341703: Frozen burro bananas

The variety of bananas known as burro bananas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50341703 Frozen burro bananas (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within institutional and school food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows no state or local solicitations specifically requesting this item. The code appears underutilized in the state and local market tracked here. Instead, frozen banana procurement surfaces sporadically as a line item within broader grocery or produce bids that use parent codes. The grocery and food-service contracts posted since late January 2026 target school districts, state health and human services agencies, county correctional facilities, and Head Start organizations across Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, California, Oregon, and New Jersey—but none isolate frozen burro bananas as a standalone commodity or lead category. This signals that buyers typically aggregate frozen fruit sourcing rather than issue single-item solicitations at the Commodity tier.

School nutrition programs, state hospital food services, and correctional facilities remain the primary demand centers for frozen fruit products generally. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792, and HHS0016792V2) for supplemental food and consumables spanning September 2025 through August 2028, with line counts exceeding 200 items each and historical annual spend ranging from $32,226 to $1.5 million per facility. Frozen produce appears alongside fresh and processed foods in these contracts, but frozen bananas are not separately specified. School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and elsewhere routinely solicit frozen foods and grocery items as broad categories—Bulloch County Schools (IFB 043025, due May 4, 2026), City Schools of Decatur (IFB, due May 15, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District (bid due April 29, 2026)—but again aggregate frozen fruits rather than request individual varieties. Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026) solicited frozen berries by volume (40,000 pounds) without reference to bananas. No recent bid explicitly names frozen burro bananas, and the code lacks visible market activity at the state and local level.
