UNSPSC 50345908: Frozen wonderful pomegranates

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

UNSPSC 50345908 Frozen wonderful pomegranates is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen fruit products procured by state and local governments, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this specific code is negligible. The recent opportunities block shows no contracts explicitly tagged to code 50345908; instead, the frozen fruit opportunities identified in the source material span broader grocery, produce, and food service procurement categories. The single reference to frozen berries appears in the Oregon Department of Corrections' April 2026 ITB for frozen fruit berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries), an individual product line nested within that agency's institutional food service spend. State and local buyers consistently source frozen and fresh produce through comprehensive food service, grocery, and nutrition program contracts rather than through commodity-specific procurements, meaning frozen pomegranates would likely be bundled as one line item within a much larger food products solicitation spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and prepared foods.

The issuing bodies procuring food products across the source material include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia and New Jersey state departments), county school districts (Fulton County Schools, Henry County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), municipal school systems (City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District), municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, County of Santa Clara), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools, state hospitals and supported living centers). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, reflecting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program as primary demand drivers. Geographic concentration of recent solicitations appears heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, Oregon, California, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bid due July 13, 2026, with a prior-year spend baseline of $1.5 million), the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026, with Buy American and nutrition standard compliance), and the Douglas County School System's January 2026 RFP DCSDSN26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). Frozen pomegranates as a standalone commodity do not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed; prospective vendors should monitor broader grocery and produce RFP activity in state and local school nutrition and institutional food service categories where such products would be itemized.
