UNSPSC 50351715: Frozen organic sucrier bananas

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

UNSPSC 50351715 Frozen organic sucrier bananas is a Commodity code that covers specialized produce items for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show little solicitation activity specifically for this SKU. Instead, the code appears tagged to broader school nutrition procurement that encompasses frozen and fresh produce as line items within larger grocery and food-service contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related produce and frozen-food categories are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, with occasional municipal and state participation. These jurisdictions buy frozen and fresh produce, eggs, dairy, meats, grains, condiments, and prepared entrees as part of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support. All products must meet USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content for processed items), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, and carry proper labeling with nutrition facts and CN labels. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry commercial general liability insurance typically at $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, comply with E-Verify authorization, and provide food safety documentation.
