UNSPSC 50352400: Frozen organic cherimoyas

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

UNSPSC 50352400 Frozen organic cherimoyas is a Class code that in practice encompasses broad school nutrition and government food procurement rather than the specialized frozen cherimoya products the code name suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, proteins, and non-food kitchen supplies to support school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and other social-support operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and county governments requesting line-by-line bids on 200 to 1,100+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, vegetables, fruits, grains, dairy, condiments, and cleaning supplies. All solicitations reference compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products), USDA nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and HACCP food safety protocols. Issuing bodies include school district boards of education, county boards of commissioners, state procurement offices, and municipalities purchasing through their departments of public purchases or purchasing divisions. School districts and county education systems dominate the activity, with repeat buyers across Georgia and Connecticut.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 due date; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited approximately 300+ food items plus non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 bid deadline and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal quote request (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items with a due date of October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with an electronic bid submission deadline of June 30, 2026 and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia also posted a broad food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation with a June 22, 2026 due date. Award criteria consistently emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing, with delivery F.O.B. destination, firm pricing for the contract period, and payment within 30 to 45 days. Vendors typically must provide references, HACCP documentation, insurance (generally $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability), and debarment/suspension verification for bids exceeding certain thresholds.
