UNSPSC 50345906: Frozen pinkhan pomegranates

The variety of pomegranates known as pinkhan pomegranates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345906 Frozen pinkhan pomegranates, a Commodity code, sees no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The code's nominal definition does not match the work actually being solicited under it in current state and local opportunities.

State and local procurement offices across multiple jurisdictions are tagging food service supply contracts with this code, but the recent opportunities solicited span comprehensive grocery procurement, school nutrition programs, fresh produce, frozen vegetables, ice cream and frozen novelties, dried fruits and nuts, and institutional food service — none of which are frozen pinkhan pomegranates. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792) for general food and consumable products at state hospitals and supported living centers; the Bridgeport Board of Education and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Early County, Fulton County, Douglas County) have issued IFBs and RFPs for school nutrition grocery items, produce, and frozen foods; and specialized procurements have appeared for fresh fruit and vegetable programs, dried fruits and nuts, and ice cream. The County of Santa Clara has solicited dried fruits and nuts; Head Start of Greater Dallas and Hillsborough County Public Schools have sought fresh produce for child nutrition and FFVP programs; and the Oregon Department of Corrections and New Jersey Department of Human Services have bid frozen fruit berries and frozen vegetables. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the generic food service work being tagged to it suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local data or that this code is being used as a fallback category for food procurement that does not fit narrower classifications. The code shows no distinct vendor base, geographic concentration, or procurement pattern of its own — all activity is subsumed into broader food service buys. Firms targeting this code should verify the actual commodity scope with issuing bodies before pursuing, as the code's nominal definition does not align with current market demand.
