UNSPSC 50345602: Frozen golden pineapple

The variety of pineapples known as golden pineapple that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345602 Frozen golden pineapple, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable frozen fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state-supported living centers, senior services, and child care facilities. The code captures single-item frozen fruit procurement aligned with federal nutrition standards, including USDA commodity specifications, CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) compliance, and contract-level food-safety and delivery requirements.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission operating Big Spring State Hospital, Mexia State Supported Living Center, and El Paso State Supported Living Center; Oregon Department of Corrections), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and federal-grant-funded nonprofits (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Recent representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC's request for frozen food products across 18 qualified ordering entities statewide (IFB HHS0017338V1, August 18, 2026 response deadline, estimated annual volume approximately $9 million with maximum $19 million potential over the contract term); Hancock County Board of Education's bid for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year (IFB SN002-2027, June 26, 2026 response deadline); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (S2910000017684, August 19, 2026 response deadline, with a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference and 5 percent resident-bidder preference). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC facilities and multiple concurrent IFBs), Georgia (Gwinnett County and Early County schools, plus a state-level food-supplies solicitation), Oregon, Connecticut (Bridgeport school district), New Jersey (Department of Human Services DSS nutrition programs), and across other states where school districts and state institutions maintain ongoing food-service contracts. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content apply to school-district awards; state agencies and institutional facilities apply USDA commodity specifications, HACCP compliance, delivery scheduling between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., and vendor warranty and complaint-resolution obligations including response within 72 hours and cost-sharing for investigation, storage, and third-party laboratory testing on non-compliant shipments.
