UNSPSC 50341704: Frozen cavendish bananas

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

UNSPSC 50341704 Frozen cavendish bananas (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of the broader food procurement activity that state and local governments conduct, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking frozen cavendish bananas. Instead, the code shows limited targeted activity in isolation. State and local buyers do purchase frozen fruits and bananas as line items within larger grocery and food service contracts—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable procurements for state hospitals and state supported living centers, school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, and Florida, and institutional food service for correctional facilities and child care programs all source frozen produce and banana products. However, these are typically bundled into comprehensive food supply bids rather than solicited as standalone commodity purchases, which limits visibility of frozen cavendish banana demand as a distinct procurement signal.

The issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span state departments of health and human services, county school boards, municipal school systems, and special-purpose nutrition authorities—primarily school districts and state institutional facilities (hospitals, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities). Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, due July 27, 2026, budgeted at $32,226.36 for the prior year) and Rockwood R-VI School District's comprehensive grocery solicitation for the 2026-27 school year (bids due April 29, 2026, spanning over 900 line items). The code itself sees minimal standalone procurement volume; firms seeking to win frozen cavendish banana business would likely succeed by positioning the commodity within larger food distribution or fresh-produce contracts that school districts and state agencies bundle together, rather than pursuing it as an isolated product line.
