UNSPSC 50347019: Frozen lychee

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

UNSPSC 50347019 Frozen lychee is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure frozen and fresh produce items, primarily for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child care facilities. Recent solicitations show that frozen lychee appears incidentally within much broader grocery and food procurement categories rather than as a standalone line item; the code's recent activity is dominated by state and local buyers purchasing comprehensive frozen fruit assortments, fresh produce, and related food products for child nutrition, institutional dining, and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), county government (Santa Clara County, California), child care and Head Start providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.), and city school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut).

The geographic spread of recent opportunities concentrates heavily in the Southeast—Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut—with additional activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Midwest (Missouri), and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, beverages, and food service supplies across 110 line items with a historical spend baseline of $32,226.36 annually; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items (bids due June 30, 2026) encompassing over 1,100 line items including frozen products subject to Buy American provisions and school lunch program compliance; Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc.'s IFB 26-GP for grocery products (bids due June 24, 2026) seeking primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of frozen foods, produce, and meat for child care programs with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (bids due April 23, 2026) encompassing 72 fresh produce items with estimated annual quantities ranging up to 21,125 cases. These procurements universally require firm fixed pricing, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, delivery to multiple school or institutional sites, and compliance with USDA nutrition and Buy American standards.
