UNSPSC 50345900: Frozen pomegranates

A thick-skinned several-celled reddish berry that is about the size of an orange and has many seeds with pulpy crimson arils of tart flavor that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345900 Frozen pomegranates, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities classified under this code solicited frozen berries, dried fruits and nuts, fresh produce, ice cream, grocery items, and food service supplies—none of which are frozen pomegranates. State and local procurement systems appear to have applied this commodity code inconsistently or as a placeholder within broader food-procurement categories.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fulton County Schools, Douglas County School System, Henry County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services), regional Head Start organizations, correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, Oregon Department of Corrections), and municipal purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary procurement in New Jersey, Missouri, California, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries and food service supplies to Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the school lunch program (response due June 30, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for primary, secondary, and tertiary food suppliers serving child care programs with an estimated value of $969,460.94 (sealed bids due June 24, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity, but the mismatch between the frozen-pomegranate commodity name and actual procurement scope suggests vendors should verify code applicability before pursuing opportunities listed under 50345900.
