UNSPSC 50345604: Frozen kona sugarloaf pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50345604 Frozen kona sugarloaf pineapple is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit procurement by state and local agencies, though the recent opportunities block shows virtually no direct solicitation for this specific product line. Instead, the available state and local contract opportunities reflect a much broader frozen fruit and produce procurement landscape: school districts, state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, and child nutrition programs are actively soliciting frozen foods, fresh produce, dried fruits, and comprehensive grocery bundles that incidentally may include frozen pineapple as a line item within larger food service contracts. The kinds of jurisdictions buying under this code span school districts (elementary through high school systems), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Education purchasing offices), county school boards, county corrections facilities, Head Start organizations, and state-supported living centers. School districts dominate the recent activity—Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, and Hillsborough County Public Schools—all posting fresh produce and frozen-food RFPs and IFBs. State purchasing offices in Texas (HHSC) and Georgia (state-level commodity procurement) also represent significant repeat buyers.

Geographic concentration skews heavily toward the Southeast and South, with Georgia and Texas appearing repeatedly as primary procurement jurisdictions. Georgia school districts post the densest cluster of opportunities, followed by Texas state agencies and school systems. A secondary band of activity spans Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations illustrate the scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017660) issued IFB for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital due July 27, 2026, requesting 110+ line items spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with a baseline spend of $32,226.36 and firm fixed unit pricing; Hancock County Board of Education (PE67080NONST2027000000013) posted IFB for fresh produce for school year 2027 due June 26, 2026, encompassing 200+ line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and specialty items with Buy American 51% domestic content requirement; and Douglas County School System (PE64810NONST2026000000046) issued RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services due February 18, 2026, seeking a main-line food distributor for approximately $9 million annual spend across 32 schools. Frozen pineapple appears embedded in these larger grocery and produce contracts as one commodity among hundreds rather than as a standalone line item, suggesting this code sees limited direct market activity focused exclusively on frozen kona sugarloaf pineapple alone.
