UNSPSC 50345608: Frozen smooth cayenne pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50345608 Frozen smooth cayenne pineapple is a Commodity code representing a single product line of specialty frozen fruit that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service and nutrition-assistance contracts for institutional feeding, school meal programs, and food-distribution services. State and local solicitations under this code do not isolate frozen smooth cayenne pineapple as a standalone line item; instead, the code sits within larger commodity bundles encompassing proteins, vegetables, dairy, prepared foods, and miscellaneous produce that institutional food-service operations and school nutrition programs purchase to meet daily meal requirements. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the institutional food-service landscape: state departments of corrections and health and human services (particularly Texas HHSC), county boards of education, city school districts, county boards of commissioners, and specialized nutrition-service providers including Head Start programs and state-supported living centers. Texas HHSC dominates recent activity, issuing multiple IFBs annually for frozen and prepared foods across state hospitals and supported living centers; Georgia and Florida school districts and county boards also appear as repeat buyers in the same timeframe.

Recent opportunities show frozen fruits included as commodity line items within larger food-service contracts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017338 (due August 18, 2026) for frozen food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers across Texas, covering 106 line items of frozen baked goods, prepared entrees, proteins, and vegetables with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a solicitation (S2910000017684, due August 19, 2026) for 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples, posted under a related frozen-fruit commodity code and demonstrating demand for prepared frozen produce in state institutional food service. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery solicitation (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) show K–12 food procurement activity across Georgia, Connecticut, and Florida, though these solicitations emphasize fresh produce and do not explicitly list frozen pineapple line items. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with Texas HHSC and state school districts generating the highest transaction volume under food-commodity codes in this tier.
