UNSPSC 50347030: Frozen roselle

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

UNSPSC 50347030 Frozen roselle, a Commodity code, does not map to the state and local procurement activity actually being solicited. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for frozen roselle or any roselle product. Instead, the code appears tagged on a broad school nutrition and institutional food service procurement portfolio spanning frozen vegetables, frozen fruits, frozen berries, fresh produce, ice cream, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive grocery items for school districts, state health and human services facilities, and correctional operations. The abstract code name—frozen roselle, a tropical flowering plant rarely stocked in North American institutional kitchens—bears no relation to the commodity mix state and local bodies are actually buying under this identifier.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, State of New Jersey Department of Human Services, Oregon Department of Corrections), and Head Start organizations. The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, California, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026, covering approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items spanning over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat products, due June 30, 2026; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for frozen foods, produce, and meat totaling approximately 32,409 cases with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94, bids due June 24, 2026. This code warrants immediate clarification with the source data steward regarding proper taxonomy assignment, as the mismatch between code and solicitation scope creates noise in market analysis.
