UNSPSC 50352407: Frozen organic smoothey cherimoya

The variety of organic cherimoya known as organic smoothey cherimoya that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50352407 Frozen organic smoothie cherimoya, a Commodity code, nominally describes a single frozen fruit product, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of frozen cherimoya smoothies. Instead, the opportunities show school districts and municipalities across the Southeast sourcing comprehensive food service supply contracts—including fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, dairy, meats, eggs, and related food service items for school nutrition programs serving the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The scope of work spans hundreds of line items across multiple food categories, bulk delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites, compliance with USDA Buy American and whole-grain nutrition standards, HACCP food safety plans, and firm pricing throughout annual contract periods (typically July 1 through June 30). Issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes—from Rockwood R-VI in Missouri (serving nearly 19,000 students) to smaller county boards of education—and municipal purchasing offices (notably the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code shows activity driven by school nutrition procurement cycles, which concentrate in the March-to-June timeframe for contracts beginning July 1 of each year.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, where Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and City Schools of Decatur all issued solicitations between January and June 2026, with several leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 districts across two areas). Connecticut and Missouri each show one recent large school district bid. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District bid for grocery items spanning over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). Douglas County School System issued an RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated spending of $4.4 million for one geographic area, and a parallel RFP for food supply and distribution with approximately $9 million annual expenditure (due February 18, 2026). All recent solicitations mandate firm pricing for the full contract term, delivery within specified Monday-to-Friday windows, and compliance with federal food safety, nutrition, and domestic sourcing standards. The code's nominal definition and recent procurement activity are substantially misaligned; it appears the code is being used as a catch-all tag for broad school food service buys rather than for frozen cherimoya products specifically.
