UNSPSC 50346502: Frozen black sapotes

The variety of sapotes known as black sapotes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346502 Frozen black sapotes, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a single specialty produce item, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting frozen black sapotes. School districts, state agencies, and other public bodies are instead issuing broad grocery and food-service bids that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods. While frozen fruits appear occasionally in these broader solicitations—the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen berries (April 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food procurements, and school nutrition programs' comprehensive grocery and produce bids—none target frozen black sapotes as a distinct commodity.

The active purchasing in this food-service space is driven by school districts (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Rockwood, Fulton County, Early County, and others across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), and Head Start programs. These buyers solicit through IFB and RFP notices with typical response windows of 2–8 weeks and contract terms of one year with optional renewals. Buy American, HACCP, food-safety compliance, and nutrition-standard adherence are standard requirements. Pricing pressure is consistent—best-value evaluation favors lowest-cost responsive bidders, with firm pricing expected across the contract term. Pursuing this code as a standalone opportunity is not viable; vendors selling frozen black sapotes would need to position the item within broader specialty or frozen-fruit categories in comprehensive grocery or produce solicitations, where demand is episodic and line-item volumes typically remain modest relative to staple categories.
