UNSPSC 50346500: Frozen sapotes

The type of fruit known as sapotes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346500 Frozen sapotes is a Class code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under it based on recent opportunities; the code appears mismatched to the solicitations posted under this category. The recent-opportunities block shows no procurement activity for frozen sapotes, frozen specialty tropical fruits, or any frozen fruit product at all. Instead, state and local solicitations tagged with this code request comprehensive grocery procurement—proteins, prepared foods, dairy products, pantry staples, beverages, fresh produce, eggs, frozen vegetables, and food service supplies—for public institutions including state hospitals, school districts, correctional facilities, and child care programs. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy assignment error in the source data or a broad catchall use of this code for miscellaneous frozen or fresh food categories that do not align with its nominal scope.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement span Texas state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county school systems (Hancock County, Early County, Henry County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, Fulton County, and others across Georgia), city school districts (Bridgeport, Decatur, Rockwood, Hillsborough County), child care providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and other municipal or county institutions. Representative recent activity includes the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bid due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 1,100+ grocery line items supporting the school lunch program (bid due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under CACFP requirements (sealed bids due June 24, 2026), and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items (sealed bids due June 26, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia (at least eight school districts in the recent block) and Texas (multiple state health facilities), with additional activity in Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. The code shows consistent activity across institutional food service procurement through the second quarter of 2026, but the class-code assignment does not align with the actual commodity mix being bought.
