UNSPSC 50355101: Frozen organic green cooking papayas

The variety of organic papayas known as organic green cooking papayas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355101 Frozen organic green cooking papayas is a Commodity code that names a narrow product line—frozen, organic papaya fruit specifically for cooking—but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent solicitations targeting this specific item. The most recent opportunities posted under the code span broad food purchasing for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state food supply contracts, none of which identify frozen organic papayas as a line item or primary scope. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote request in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services. The Bridgeport Board of Education sought bids in June 2026 on over 1,100 grocery line items spanning breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats under a one-year National School Lunch Program contract. Early County Board of Education and Hancock County Board of Education both issued separate food bids in May and June 2026 for the 2026–27 school year, with scopes reaching 300+ food items and 200+ fresh produce line items respectively; the Hancock County solicitation lists papayas as one specialty item among mangos, kiwis, and starfruit, but does not isolate frozen or organic variants.

The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia school districts and county departments, with the State of Georgia also posting a food and supplies bid in May 2026. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) and Early County Schools' food line-by-line bid (due June 8, 2026) represent the most recent Georgia sourcing; both emphasize Buy American provision compliance (51% domestic agricultural content) and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday. Connecticut's Bridgeport Board of Education issued the only non-Georgia recent opportunity, requiring blind testing, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition compliance, and LINQ School Solutions ordering integration. Frozen organic papayas do not appear as a standalone line item in any of the recent solicitations; the single reference to papayas in the Hancock County Schools bid lists fresh papayas as one miscellaneous produce option among dozens, with no specification for organic or frozen status. This code's nominal scope—frozen organic green cooking papayas—does not align with the actual commodity mix being purchased under it in recent state and local procurements.
