UNSPSC 50341705: Frozen dominico bananas

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

UNSPSC 50341705 Frozen dominico bananas is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and frozen produce for institutional food service — schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care programs. The recent solicitations show that this code spans procurement of broad grocery and produce categories, not bananas exclusively; state and local buyers tag mixed fruit, vegetable, and complete grocery lines under frozen-produce and commodity codes, and frozen dominico bananas appears in practice as one line item within larger food-service solicitations rather than a stand-alone procurement focus.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity across Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Fulton County, Douglas County, City Schools of Decatur), Texas (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). State health and human services agencies procure for state hospitals and supported living centers; county correction facilities and child care providers represent smaller volume. The geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with scattered activity in Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026), spanning 110+ line items with a prior-year spend of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (bids due June 30, 2026), covering 1,100+ line items with Buy American provisions and LINQ ordering-system integration; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (bids due June 26, 2026) encompassing 200+ produce line items with firm pricing and delivery to three school sites. HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center's IFB HHS0017449 (bids due July 13, 2026) shows prior annual spend of $1.5 million on food and consumables. School nutrition procurement dominates; most opportunities require firm fixed pricing, HACCP plans, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million thresholds), Buy American compliance, and delivery integration with school ordering systems such as LINQ or Bonfire e-procurement portals.
