UNSPSC 50347001: Frozen akee

The type of fruit known as akee that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50347001 Frozen akee is a Commodity code identifying a single food product line. State and local governments rarely procure frozen akee directly; the code appears misaligned with actual purchasing activity under review. Recent solicitations tagged to this code consistently seek broad grocery and food service procurement for institutional nutrition—school meal programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care centers—spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, produce, frozen goods, and consumable supplies rather than akee as a named commodity.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Rockwood School District, Henry County Schools, and Fulton County Schools all posting recent bids. State health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services) and child care and correctional facilities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Oregon Department of Corrections, Santa Clara County Corrections) round out the buyer base. Georgia hosts the densest recent activity, followed by Texas and scattered opportunities in Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, California, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school lunch (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce under CACFP requirements (due June 24, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across multiple apple and vegetable varieties (due June 26, 2026). The code's recent activity signals active institutional food service procurement but reflects a mismatch between the narrow commodity definition and the broad, multi-category food and supply solicitations actually being posted.
