UNSPSC 50355603: Frozen organic hilo pineapple

The variety of organic pineapples known as organic hilo pineapple that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355603 Frozen organic hilo pineapple is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line, but the recent state and local solicitations using this code show no activity specifically for frozen organic pineapple. Instead, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have posted IFBs and IWQs for broad-based food procurement — shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, school lunch program items, and kitchen supplies spanning hundreds of line items each. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all classification within larger food and nutrition contracts rather than as a targeted procurement for the specific product. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, school districts, county purchasing offices, municipal departments, and state agencies, all supporting National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provision requirements, and nutrition standards such as the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, and the State of Georgia) with one Connecticut opportunity (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a response due October 19, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education's bid for over 1,100 line items of groceries due June 30, 2026, requiring Buy American documentation and blind laboratory testing; and Hancock County Schools' IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items, bids due June 26, 2026. All three school district opportunities require HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, debarment verification, and liability insurance. Pricing is firm fixed with no fuel surcharges, delivery occurs to multiple school sites on firm schedules, and awards are typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with options for single or split awards across vendors.
