UNSPSC 50345202: Frozen blue passion flower

The variety of passion fruit known as blue passion flower that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345202 Frozen blue passion flower is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a single frozen fruit product, but the recent solicitations under this code show no relevant procurement of frozen passion flowers or comparable specialty frozen fruit items. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code consist almost entirely of broad school nutrition, institutional food service, and government food supply contracts spanning hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, frozen vegetables, grains, and consumables—categories that fall well outside the narrow scope of a single frozen specialty fruit. The mismatch between the code's definition and the actual work being solicited indicates either erroneous code assignment by the issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all for general frozen-food and fresh-produce procurement that should be tagged to broader family or class codes instead.

State and local buyers using this code include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Henry County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers), Head Start and child care programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas), county offices (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport). Recent opportunities span Texas (multiple HHSC procurements for state facilities), Georgia (numerous school district nutrition contracts), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent solicitations 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 food line items with historical annual spend of $32,226.36; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (closed June 30, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, with an estimated total procurement value of $969,460.94); and the Douglas County School System's RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000 (sealed proposals due February 18, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity, but it reflects systemic miscoding rather than genuine market demand for frozen blue passion flowers specifically.
