UNSPSC 50341715: Frozen sucrier bananas

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

UNSPSC 50341715 Frozen sucrier bananas (Commodity) represents a narrow slice of frozen fruit procurement that state and local government agencies source as a discrete line item within larger grocery and food service contracts, not as a standalone category. Recent solicitations show frozen sucrier bananas appearing alongside hundreds of other frozen products—frozen mixed vegetables, frozen berries, frozen specialty foods—within institutional food service buys for state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and corrections facilities. The code itself captures only a single frozen banana product form, yet state and local buyers rarely issue monolithic procurements for one frozen fruit variety; instead, they tag multi-line grocery and frozen-food solicitations with granular UNSPSC codes at the commodity level, treating frozen sucrier bananas as one itemized line among dozens or hundreds.

Issuing bodies sourcing under this code span state health and human services departments (notably the Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county and city school districts across multiple states, corrections facilities, and early childhood care programs. The Texas HHSC appears repeatedly with large supplemental food contracts covering state hospitals and state-supported living centers. Geographic spread centers on Texas (multiple HHSC procurements), Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Fulton County, Savannah-Chatham, and Henry County school systems; Douglas County School System), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and California (Santa Clara County Correction). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, covering 110+ line items with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36), and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (proposals due February 18, 2026, supporting approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9,000,000). None of these solicitations isolate frozen sucrier bananas as a separate procurement—the code appears tagged within broader food service buys where frozen fruits, including bananas, compete for inclusion on a line-item basis within institutional nutrition budgets.
