UNSPSC 50345905: Frozen pat's red pomegranates

The variety of pomegranates known as pat's red pomegranates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345905 Frozen Pat's Red Pomegranates, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this category. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code span institutional food service procurement—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and Head Start child care—but the actual commodities being purchased are broad grocery categories, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and food service supplies, not a specific frozen pomegranate product line. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Fulton County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; Hillsborough County in Florida; Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County Sheriff), Head Start providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and one county corrections facility (Santa Clara County). School nutrition programs dominate the recent-opportunities block, with secondary activity in state institutional food service and correctional feeding.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia, with multiple school districts issuing fresh produce, grocery, and nutrition-program bids (Hancock, Bulloch, Henry, Fulton, Early, Savannah-Chatham counties; City Schools of Decatur), Texas (HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Florida (Hillsborough County), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent solicitations include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital due July 27, 2026 with historical spend of $32,226.36; Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program due June 30, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat (32,409 cases estimated, $969,460.94 total procurement value) due June 24, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity but reflects a broad commodity category mismatch rather than a discrete frozen pomegranate specialty product.
