UNSPSC 50345610: Frozen variegated pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50345610 Frozen variegated pineapple is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line — specifically frozen, mixed-variety pineapple — that state and local governments procure primarily as a component of larger food service operations rather than as a standalone category. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen variegated pineapple; instead, the code appears in a dataset where state and local buyers are sourcing comprehensive grocery and food service bundles for institutional meal programs. Issuing bodies soliciting under broader food codes that would encompass this commodity span state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, which operates state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Henry County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Hillsborough County in Florida; City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; Fulton County in Georgia), head start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple school districts. Texas HHSC and Georgia school districts appear most frequently as repeat buyers of large food service contracts, with HHSC operating statewide procurement for state hospitals and state supported living centers.

Representative recent solicitations demonstrate the actual work being bought: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026) spans 110 line items covering proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a historical spend baseline of $32,226.36 annually; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items including frozen products, requiring Buy American compliance and National School Lunch Program adherence; and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products (due June 24, 2026) seeks approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat meeting Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements with total estimated procurement value of $969,460.94. Geographic spread centers on Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations), Georgia (school districts in Hancock, Early, Bulloch, Henry, Savannah-Chatham, and Decatur counties), and scattered activity in Florida, Missouri, California, Oregon, and Connecticut. The code shows no recent activity driven by the specific frozen variegated pineapple product itself; rather, opportunities name it incidentally within institutional food service bundles where frozen fruit may appear as one of hundreds of line items. Pursue this code only if your firm supplies frozen fruit as a component of larger food service contracts to institutional buyers, not as a specialty frozen pineapple vendor.
