UNSPSC 50345609: Frozen sugarloaf pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50345609 Frozen sugarloaf pineapple is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of prepared and specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code and closely related frozen-fruit categories show that buying agencies are acquiring frozen produce—berries, mixed vegetables, tropical fruit blends, and prepared specialty fruits—for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and Head Start child care operations. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fulton County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department), and regional child care networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Douglas County School System in Georgia appear as repeat buyers of frozen and specialty food products across multiple solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary presence in California, Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, bids due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's RFQ for grocery items (bids due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American and nutrition standards), Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce (sealed bids June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of individually quick frozen berries (bids due April 23, 2026, prior award at $0.89 per pound). School districts typically require 51 percent domestic agricultural content under Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, nutrition label documentation, and delivery to multiple school sites on fixed pricing with firm delivery schedules Monday through Friday. Contracts generally run July-June fiscal years with one- to four-year renewal options, and evaluation favors lowest responsive and responsible pricing combined with vendor performance history and specification compliance.
