UNSPSC 50343001: Frozen pink dragonfruit

The variety of dragonfruit known as pink dragonfruit that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343001 Frozen pink dragonfruit, a Commodity code, describes state and local procurement of specialty frozen produce items to support institutional food service operations—specifically frozen fruits and berries supplied to correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and child nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show actual buying concentrated on frozen berries and mixed frozen fruits rather than dragonfruit specifically; the code appears to capture a broader frozen specialty-produce category that state and local buyers use interchangeably for institutional meal planning.

State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code span Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state hospitals and supported living centers), Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fulton County, Henry County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur), Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County), Connecticut municipal education (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas child care providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), California county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and Oregon Department of Corrections. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with overlapping procurement for fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and prepared foods through Invitation for Bid (IFB) notices. Texas HHSC has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables spanning state facilities statewide, with historical spend at $1.5 million to $4.5 million annually. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (six recent school district IFBs), Texas (four HHSC and Head Start procurements), and California-Oregon (county and state corrections). Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 40,000 pounds of unsweetened individually quick frozen berries (April 2026, due April 23), Texas HHSC's statewide supplemental food IFB covering 210 line items including frozen specialty items for state hospitals (February 2026, due February 23), and multiple Georgia school district IFBs for frozen and fresh produce as part of broader school nutrition contracts—Hancock County fresh produce (June 2026, due June 26), City Schools of Decatur frozen foods and grocery (April 2026, due May 15), and Bulloch County comprehensive grocery bid spanning frozen vegetables and fruits (April 2026, due May 4).
