UNSPSC 50351714: Frozen organic saba bananas

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

UNSPSC 50351714 Frozen organic saba bananas is a Commodity code covering specialized frozen fruit products. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect solicitations for frozen organic saba bananas specifically. Instead, school nutrition programs across the region are issuing bids for broad grocery and food service categories—frozen foods, fresh produce, and general food supply contracts—in which frozen specialty fruit items may be embedded as line items within much larger multi-category procurements. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (BNB052266) on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery items supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, encompassing breakfast items, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, and fruits. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB (SN002-2027) on June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year. Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids on June 8, 2026, for approximately 300 food items including fruits and frozen products. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited bids on April 29, 2026, for over 900 line items of grocery items including fruits and prepared entrees. These procurements are issued by school districts and municipalities across Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri, driven by the National School Lunch Program and child nutrition services requirements.

The issuing-body mix consists primarily of school district nutrition departments and city procurement offices supporting schools. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), with secondary activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). All contracts have firm pricing through the 2026-27 school year with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients. Delivery is required Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites; all bids include freight prepaid with no separate fuel surcharges permitted. Payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days. Vendors must maintain liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, comply with HACCP plans, provide 24/7 food recall accessibility, and meet USDA nutrition and labeling standards including whole grain and low-sodium requirements. Notably, frozen organic saba bananas do not appear as a distinct line item in any of the posted opportunities—the code shows activity only as a possible sub-item within broad frozen-fruit or produce categories bundled into much larger contracts.
