UNSPSC 50351711: Frozen organic mysore bananas

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

UNSPSC 50351711 Frozen organic mysore bananas is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader fresh and frozen fruit category. State and local governments procure frozen bananas under this code primarily through school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, though recent solicitations tag the code infrequently and do not isolate frozen organic mysore bananas as a distinct line item. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education across multiple states, which bundle frozen bananas within larger grocery, frozen foods, or fresh produce contracts that encompass hundreds of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, fruits, dairy, grains, and prepared items. Buyers emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (51 percent minimum domestic agricultural content for processed items), nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, allergen controls (nut-free requirements), and HACCP food safety plans with 24/7 recall accessibility. Delivery logistics typically require Monday-through-Friday service windows (often 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), proper cold-chain maintenance where applicable, and consolidated warehouse or multi-site school delivery.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with recent procurements posted from the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), the State of Georgia, and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri).
