UNSPSC 50351705: Frozen organic dominico bananas

The variety of organic bananas known as organic dominico bananas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50351705 Frozen organic dominico bananas is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. The code's nominal focus on a single fruit variety does not reflect actual purchasing patterns; recent solicitations under this code span breakfast cereals, canned proteins, fresh produce, dairy, meats, poultry, seafood, condiments, and paper supplies. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county governments operating National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program contracts, with occasional participation from state purchasing offices and county departments of community services. Contracts emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed goods), USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and reduced-sodium requirements, HACCP food safety plans, and E-Verify verification. Awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; many solicitations permit split awards across multiple vendors by line item.
