UNSPSC 50345102: Frozen maradol papayas

The variety of papayas known as maradol papayas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345102 Frozen maradol papayas is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not currently buy frozen maradol papayas as a line item—the code shows no recent relevant solicitation activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span school nutrition programs, state hospital food service, county correctional facilities, and Head Start child nutrition programs, but these solicitations uniformly call for broad-line grocery procurement, fresh produce assortments, frozen mixed vegetables, dried fruits and nuts, ice cream, and other staple food categories. None of the posted opportunities identify maradol papayas—frozen or fresh—as a specified product line, nor do they mention papaya procurement at any jurisdiction.

The mismatch between the code name and actual purchasing signals a low-activity or dormant category. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, California, and New Jersey posted opportunities between January and July 2026 for comprehensive food service contracts, but procurement officers tagged these opportunities with broader grocery, produce, or frozen-food codes rather than with a papaya-specific commodity code. If maradol papaya procurement occurs under this UNSPSC designation, it does so rarely enough that no recent state or local bid notices surface. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive in the current market and prioritize higher-activity categories within broader produce, tropical fruit, or frozen-food families.
