UNSPSC 50341711: Frozen mysore bananas

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

UNSPSC 50341711 Frozen mysore bananas is a Commodity-tier code capturing a specific frozen fruit product that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations. Recent solicitations show this code tagged to large-scale institutional food service contracts—primarily school nutrition programs, state hospitals, and correctional facilities—where frozen bananas appear as line items within comprehensive grocery or produce specifications rather than as standalone procurements. The actual buying mix spans state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC), county and city school districts (Bridgeport, Decatur, Henry County, Bulloch County, Hancock County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Rockwood, Fulton County, Douglas County), Head Start programs, and county detention facilities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly K-12 school nutrition authorities managing National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, state institutional food service operations (state hospitals and supported living centers), and child care nutrition programs. School districts represent the densest category of recent buyers.

Geographic spread reflects heavy activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Decatur, Fulton County), Texas (HHSC statewide operations including Big Spring and El Paso facilities), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), with additional activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Florida (Hillsborough County), New Jersey, California (Santa Clara County), Georgia/cooperative regional procurement (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts), and multi-state coverage through state-level vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital with bids due July 27, 2026, spanning approximately 110 line items including proteins, prepared foods, and produce with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport RFQ for grocery items supporting school food services (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items with Buy American compliance and 48-hour delivery; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products across primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers with an estimated total value of $969,460.94 and pre-bid conference in April 2026; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce in the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items with firm pricing and multi-school delivery. Pricing typically remains firm for the contract period, with adjustments tied to CPI or USDA market data and occurring only at renewal; most contracts run July-June or September-August fiscal cycles with one- to four-year renewal options. Buy American and USDA compliance requirements are standard across school nutrition and state institutional procurements.
