UNSPSC 50355600: Frozen organic pineapples

A tropical monocotyledonous plant (ananas comosus of the family bromeliaceae, the pineapple family) that has rigid spiny-margined recurved leaves and a short stalk with a dense oblong head of small abortive flowers. The large edible multiple fruit of the that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355600 Frozen organic pineapples, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities block shows school districts, counties, and municipalities across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri soliciting comprehensive grocery and produce contracts for child nutrition programs—encompassing fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meats, grains, bakery items, and non-food supplies—but no opportunities specifically targeting frozen organic pineapples or pineapple products as line items or procurement focuses. The scope of work across the tagged solicitations centers on National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support, with vendors expected to deliver a broad range of commodities meeting USDA compliance, Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), whole-grain requirements, nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, and HACCP food-safety protocols.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia, serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative). Activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery-items IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for central warehouse and school-site delivery, and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits. The code appears to carry a narrow commodity classification that does not reflect the actual buying pattern—comprehensive food-service procurement rather than specialized frozen-pineapple sourcing.
