UNSPSC 50342408: Frozen spain cherimoya

The variety of cherimoya known as spain cherimoya that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50342408 Frozen Spain Cherimoya is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single specialty produce item—frozen custard-apple fruit from Spain—yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged with this code shows little relevant purchasing of the product itself. Instead, the code appears in records for broad-based grocery and food service solicitations covering hundreds of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, pantry staples, and food service supplies. The mismatch between the code's specific name and the actual scope of these opportunities suggests either tagging error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all for miscellaneous specialty or frozen produce within institutional purchasing systems. State and local buyers issuing under this code include school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and special-purpose food-service entities. The issuing bodies span multiple states—Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Georgia (multiple school districts including Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Henry County, and Douglas County; City Schools of Decatur), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), California (Santa Clara County), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and New Jersey (Department of Human Services). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for approximately 110 line items of groceries and food service supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026); the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements (bids due June 24, 2026 with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94).

Given the disconnect between the code's specific product designation and the broad institutional grocery purchasing these records reflect, activity under UNSPSC 50342408 does not signal meaningful market opportunity for suppliers of frozen Spain cherimoya. Bidders pursuing opportunities tagged with this code should verify against the actual line-item scope in each solicitation, as the code label provides little guidance to the products or services state and local agencies are actually buying. The volume and frequency of school nutrition and institutional food service solicitations across these jurisdictions points to sustained demand for mainstream grocery and produce vendors with established food safety, delivery, and compliance capabilities, but not for the specialty item the code nominally describes.
