UNSPSC 50346903: Frozen goldmine tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as goldmine tamarillo that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346903 Frozen goldmine tamarillo is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are conducting under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show no purchases of frozen tamarillo fruit; instead, they span a broad range of school nutrition, institutional food service, and child nutrition programs procuring comprehensive grocery, produce, and specialty food items for K–12 districts, state health and human services facilities, Head Start agencies, and county corrections. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty fruit product—bears no relationship to the transactional reality, which is mainstream food service supply contracting for multiple product categories, typically on a line-item or all-or-none basis, with firm fixed pricing and delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), alongside state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services), specialized child nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program), and county corrections (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, Oregon Department of Corrections). Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Missouri, with additional activity in California, Oregon, and New Jersey. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (response due July 27, 2026, approximately 110 line items, prior-year spend $32,226.36); the City of Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BID052266 for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American compliance and school lunch program standards (response due June 30, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat products for CACFP programs with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94 (sealed bids due June 24, 2026); and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (sealed proposals due March 4, 2026). This code shows substantial recent activity but appears misaligned with its nominal commodity classification; buyers should verify the actual specification requirements rather than relying on the code name alone.
