UNSPSC 50355106: Frozen organic tainung papayas

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

UNSPSC 50355106 Frozen organic tainung papayas is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line that sees minimal recent procurement activity in state and local markets. The three recent opportunities bearing this code — from Gwinnett County, the City of Bridgeport, Hancock County Schools, and Early County Schools — solicit food purchases across hundreds of line items spanning proteins, grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and prepared products. The papayas themselves appear only in the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB, where they are listed as one specialty item among over 200 line items of produce, and in the Early County Schools scope. The actual state and local buying under this code does not isolate papayas as a standalone procurement; instead, they are absorbed into broader food and produce aggregations driven by school nutrition programs and county services departments seeking to meet National School Lunch Program requirements and Buy American domestic-sourcing mandates. School districts and county boards of education are the primary issuing bodies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Hancock County Board of Education (fresh produce IFB SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (informal quotes for shelf-stable food, due October 19, 2026), Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid, due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia (food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026) have all posted solicitations. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also solicited grocery items for the Board of Education (BNB052266, electronic bids due June 30, 2026). Papayas do not surface as a standalone commodity in these opportunities — they are included as one item within multi-hundred-line fresh produce or food aggregations. The code shows no evidence of targeted procurement for frozen organic papayas as a distinct deliverable. For vendors seeking to pursue papaya supply, this code does not reflect meaningful recent activity; pursuit would require targeting the broader food-supply IFBs and RFQs from school districts and county nutrition programs where papayas may be embedded as a line item.
