UNSPSC 50347020: Frozen mangosteens

The type of fruit known as mangosteens that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50347020 Frozen mangosteens is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy perishable food items—frozen specialty fruits, frozen vegetables, dried fruits, nuts, and related consumables—under this code to supply institutional food service operations including state hospitals, correctional facilities, school districts, and child care programs. Recent solicitations show a much broader scope than the code's nominal name suggests: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures frozen and refrigerated food products across 210 line items for state-supported living centers; school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Florida solicit frozen foods, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery inventories; correctional facilities source dried fruits and nuts; and child care programs purchase frozen produce meeting CACFP nutrition standards. The issuing bodies are predominantly state agencies (Texas HHS, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Education), county and city school districts (Bulloch County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Rockwood R-VI, Decatur, Bridgeport, Fulton County), state departments (Georgia, New Jersey), and specialized service providers (Head Start organizations, county correctional facilities). Texas Health and Human Services Commission and multiple Georgia school districts appear repeatedly as active buyers.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and New Jersey. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, with historical annual spend of $32,226.36); the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items for school food service (due June 30, 2026, with Buy American and nutrition compliance requirements); Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products meeting CACFP standards (sealed bids due June 24, 2026, with estimated value of $969,460.94); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including specialty fruits (due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program for elementary schools (proposals due March 11, 2026, with annual budget of $600,000). Contracts typically run twelve months commencing July 1 with renewal options spanning three to five years, require firm fixed pricing with limited escalation tied to USDA indices or CPI, mandate HACCP compliance and food recall procedures, and incorporate Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed items.
