UNSPSC 50345605: Frozen natal queen pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50345605 Frozen natal queen pineapple is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect a fundamental mismatch: state and local governments are actively procuring groceries, fresh produce, frozen vegetables, ice cream, dried fruits, and broad food-service supplies — not a specialized pineapple product. The code's nominal scope does not align with actual solicitation activity. The work being bought spans institutional food service for state hospitals, school districts, county correctional facilities, and Head Start programs, with vendors supplying hundreds of line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, produce, beverages, and consumable packaging. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (approximately $32,226 prior-year baseline, response due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items supporting school lunch programs (response deadline June 30, 2026, requires 51 percent domestic agricultural content and Buy American compliance), and Head Start of Greater Dallas's June 2026 IFB for 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under CACFP standards (estimated value $969,460.94, sealed bids due June 24, 2026).

The issuing-body mix is heavily weighted toward school districts and state health agencies. School nutrition programs dominate — Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Early County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Decatur City Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), and Hillsborough County Schools (Florida) all posted solicitations between January and July 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears twice with institutional food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers. County correctional authorities and Head Start programs represent secondary categories. Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, California, New Jersey, and Oregon. The code shows no relevant recent activity — the solicitations are legitimate food-service procurements, not frozen pineapple specialty products. Vendors pursuing this code should verify with issuing bodies that the UNSPSC tag is correct before investing in bid preparation.
