UNSPSC 50343701: Frozen beaumont guavas

The variety of guavas known as beaumont guavas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343701 Frozen beaumont guavas, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen fruit items for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is minimal and the opportunities actually posted reflect broader grocery and produce procurement rather than beaumont guavas in isolation. State and local issuing bodies pursuing frozen and fresh produce contracts span school districts, state health and human services agencies, counties, and specialized food service contractors across multiple states. The work being solicited includes comprehensive food service supply contracts for institutional kitchens—school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities—where frozen produce, fresh fruits, and related staples form one component of much larger, multi-category grocery buys. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), covering approximately 110 line items with proteins, prepared foods, pantry staples, and beverages under firm fixed unit pricing; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for school lunch program grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (closed June 30, 2026), spanning over 1,100 line items with strict Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition compliance; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements (closed June 24, 2026), with total estimated procurement value of $969,460.94.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC procurements), Georgia (multiple school districts including Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County), and regional multi-district consortia such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts. Additional recent activity spans Connecticut (Bridgeport), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Oregon (Department of Corrections), California (Santa Clara County), and New Jersey (Department of Human Services). Issuing bodies mix state health and human services agencies, independent school districts, county school boards, municipal procurement offices, and special-purpose districts and nonprofit operators such as Head Start. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations consistently emphasize price competitiveness, vendor ability to meet strict food safety and nutritional specifications (HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, USDA Smart Snack standards), reliable delivery within specified windows, past performance, and insurance adequacy. Most school nutrition contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, while state agency contracts typically span September 1 through August 31. No recent opportunities specifically name frozen beaumont guavas; the code activity reflects general institutional frozen produce procurement, where specialty items compete within broader vegetable and fruit line-item categories.
