UNSPSC 50353702: Frozen organic carrley guavas

The variety of organic guavas known as organic carrley guavas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50353702 Frozen organic parsley guavas, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged with this code are consistently for broad school nutrition procurement — frozen and fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and grocery staples — rather than the specific frozen organic parsley guavas named in the code itself. The opportunities examined show state and local school districts, counties, and municipalities soliciting comprehensive food service supply contracts to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and city purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport), with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer category. Vendors typically must meet Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), comply with E-Verify authorization, and deliver Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites. All products must meet Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, whole-grain specifications, and zero-trans-fat requirements with proper nutritional labeling.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items across 1,100+ line items (RFQ, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce across 200+ items (IFB, due June 26, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri soliciting 900+ grocery line items (electronic bid, due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System posting an RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Price escalation clauses are standard, typically capping adjustments at 3 to 10 percent annually and requiring USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation. Contract terms run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending up to three additional years, and payment terms range from Net 30 to Net 45 days. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified in these solicitations, though some districts express intent to provide maximum practicable opportunities to minority firms and women's business enterprises.
