UNSPSC 50346502: Frozen black sapotes

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

UNSPSC 50346502 Frozen black sapotes is a Commodity code that does not reflect significant procurement activity among state and local government buyers. The code refers to a specific frozen fruit product — black sapotes — but the recent opportunities solicited under this code by state and local agencies span general groceries, fresh produce, frozen vegetables, frozen food products, and meal-service supply for institutional facilities including state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, county parks, and social service agencies. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity scope and the breadth of institutional food procurement it nominally covers suggests either misclassification in source systems or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for frozen fruit and vegetable procurement that does not exclusively or primarily target sapotes.

Activity is concentrated in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, El Paso State Supported Living Center, Mexia State Supported Living Center, Big Spring State Hospital), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Early County Schools, Hancock County Schools), and Florida (Collier County), with additional recent solicitations from Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services, Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Texas Head Start. Institutional buyers—state health and human services departments, school districts, and county recreation departments—dominate the recent opportunity set. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's August 2026 IFB for approximately 100 line items of groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due August 28, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 bid for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (bids due August 19, 2026, with Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling up to 10 percent); Collier County's October 2026 ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (proposals due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference); and Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026). The code shows little evidence of activity specifically targeting frozen sapotes as a line item.
