UNSPSC 50345104: Frozen mountain papayas

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

UNSPSC 50345104 Frozen mountain papayas is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit specifically for frozen mountain papayas; the code sits within a broader procurement landscape dominated by general grocery, food service, and school nutrition contracts that bundle frozen produce alongside dozens of other product categories. The most recent state and local opportunities show no dedicated solicitations for frozen mountain papayas alone. Instead, frozen tropical fruits—when sourced at all—appear as individual line items within large multi-category food service RFPs and IFBs serving institutional buyers: state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, county correctional facilities, and Head Start programs. A solicitation from Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) for fresh produce in June 2026 listed papayas as one specialty item among over 200 line items; the County of Santa Clara (California) ITB for dried fruits and nuts included a "dried tropical fruit mix blend" as a minor line item in a five-line dried-fruit procurement for its detention facility. The code does not align cleanly with recent high-volume state and local buying.

Issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission; Oregon Department of Corrections; Georgia Department of Education), school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton County, Henry County, Early County, Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Bridgeport, Hillsborough County, Douglas County), counties (Santa Clara), and specialized programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas). School nutrition programs and state institutional food service (hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities) dominate the volume, with Texas HHSC, Georgia school districts, and California county facilities as repeat buyers. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, July 2026, ~$32,000 annual historical spend) and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (June 2026), both naming papayas as incidental line items within sprawling multi-hundred-line institutional food service contracts. No solicitation in the dataset targets frozen mountain papayas as a primary or standalone procurement focus, signaling minimal direct market opportunity under this specific code tier at present.
