UNSPSC 50355427 Frozen organic kings royal pears is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen produce items for institutional food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments procure this product primarily through school nutrition departments and county social services agencies as part of broader food-supply contracts supporting breakfast and lunch programs, senior nutrition services, and emergency food assistance. The work solicited under this code involves vendor qualification for frozen fruit inventory, compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products), HACCP food-safety protocols, temperature-controlled delivery and storage, nutritional specification adherence, and blind testing by institutional staff to verify quality and specification compliance.

Issuing bodies pursuing this code are primarily school districts and county governments in the Southeast. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, and Early County Board of Education in Georgia have posted recent opportunities for fresh and frozen produce supporting school lunch and senior services nutrition programs; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, issuing on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, posted an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including frozen products on June 30, 2026. Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 (informal written quote due October 19, 2026) sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026. Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB SN002-2027 (bids due June 26, 2026) specified multiple produce varieties across three school delivery sites for the 2026-27 school year. Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut; the State of Georgia also posted a May 15, 2026 IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response deadline. All school-district solicitations impose firm pricing for the contract term (typically July 1 through June 30 of the following fiscal year), require prepaid F.O.B. destination delivery during weekday morning hours, mandate compliance with National School Lunch Program regulations, and reserve the right to award single or multiple vendors.
