UNSPSC 50341708: Frozen lacatan bananas

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

UNSPSC 50341708 Frozen lacatan bananas is a Commodity code used by state and local governments to procure fresh and frozen fruit products, though recent opportunities show this specific code capturing a broad range of grocery and food service procurement activity rather than frozen bananas exclusively. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, school districts (in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, and Texas), county correctional systems, and Head Start programs, all seeking to supply institutional food service operations. The work includes procurement of frozen fruits, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, pantry staples, beverages, and related consumable supplies, typically bundled into large line-item grocery contracts with multiple categories and case-based pricing. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, followed by state institutional facilities and county correctional departments, with repeat activity from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission across multiple facility types.

Recent opportunities span Texas (HHSC Big Spring State Hospital IFB HHS0017660, due July 27, 2026; HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026), Georgia (Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Schools fresh produce Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026; Douglas County Schools food supply RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026; Bulloch County Schools IFB 043025, due May 4, 2026; Henry County Schools IFB, due May 5, 2026), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for Board of Education groceries IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District child nutrition services grocery items, due April 29, 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools FFVP RFP 26039RFPDST, due March 11, 2026; Fulton County Schools ice cream IFB 190-26, due March 10, 2026), Oregon (Department of Corrections frozen fruit berries ITB S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026), New Jersey (Department of Human Services frozen vegetables rebid 26DPP01307, due June 17, 2026), and California (County of Santa Clara dried fruits and nuts ITB PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026). Procurement activity remains consistent across school districts and state institutions, with firm fixed pricing, wholesale or cost-plus models, delivery to multiple school or facility sites, and 12-month terms typical. No recent opportunities specifically target frozen lacatan bananas as a line item; the code appears to serve as a catch-all commodity classification for institutional fruit and food service procurement.
