UNSPSC 50353000: Frozen organic dragonfruit

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

UNSPSC 50353000 Frozen organic dragonfruit is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of specialty frozen fruit and produce items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show school districts and county boards of education purchasing frozen and fresh produce alongside broader grocery assortments to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance. The code's nominal scope—frozen organic dragonfruit—does not align with the actual purchasing activity in recent opportunities, which centers on conventional frozen foods, fresh produce staples (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus, potatoes), eggs, and comprehensive grocery line items rather than organic specialty fruit. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recurring buyers including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). A single state agency procurement (State of Georgia food supplies) and one municipal buyer (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut) also appear in the recent record. The geographic concentration is decidedly Southern, with Georgia school districts representing the plurality of recent activity, followed by Missouri and Connecticut.

Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (June 26, 2026 due date), spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (June 30, 2026 due date), requiring Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural ingredients), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and compliance with LINQ School Solutions ordering; and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items (April 29, 2026 due date) serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs (March 4, 2026 due date) covered 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), requiring cost-plus-net proposals tied to USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market Reports and Urner Barry reporting. All contracts require firm pricing for the contract period (typically July 1 through June 30), Buy American compliance where applicable, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and delivery to multiple school sites with transportation and packing included in quoted prices and no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
