UNSPSC 50353700: Frozen organic guavas

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

UNSPSC 50353700 Frozen organic guavas, a Class code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity found in recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The recent opportunities show no purchases of frozen organic guavas specifically. Instead, the code captures broad school nutrition procurement that encompasses frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county board of education systems—including the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—along with the State of Georgia. These jurisdictions solicit under the code to fill commodity and service-level food-service contracts that run twelve months and support student meal programs across multiple school sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and extends to Connecticut, Missouri, and statewide procurement in Georgia itself. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (due June 30, 2026), requiring Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three schools (due June 26, 2026); Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery-item line items with firm pricing through June 30, 2027 (due April 29, 2026, electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS). All solicitations require HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, liability insurance, E-Verify compliance, and adherence to USDA nutrition and Buy American standards; many permit award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
