UNSPSC 50342300: Frozen breadfruit

The type of fruit known as breadfruit that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342300 Frozen breadfruit, a Class code, does not reflect the actual buying activity in recent state and local procurement. The opportunities posted under this code span a broad range of institutional food service and nutrition-assistance commodities—including frozen vegetables, frozen apples, fresh produce, shelf-stable grocery items, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—rather than frozen breadfruit specifically. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County, Collier County), state facilities (Big Spring State Hospital, Mexia State Supported Living Center), and nonprofit child-care providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). These buyers are procuring food through a mix of notice types—Invitation for Bids (IFB), Invitation to Negotiate (ITN), and informal written quotes—to support food service operations at schools, state hospitals, detention facilities, senior centers, parks and recreation venues, and child-nutrition programs.

Geographic activity spans Texas (with multiple HHSC solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Early County, Hancock County), Oregon, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida (Collier County). Texas dominates recent posting volume, driven by HHSC's statewide institutional feeding contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC procurement for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017338, estimated annual volume approximately $9 million, bids due August 18, 2026); Gwinnett County's purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (informal written quotes, due October 19, 2026); and the Bridgeport Board of Education's acquisition of over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the National School Lunch Program, subject to Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026). The code's mismatch with actual buying suggests either a cataloging error or a broader commodity grouping that no longer reflects procurement-system practice; vendors pursuing frozen-fruit or institutional-produce contracts should verify code alignment with issuing authorities before bidding.
