UNSPSC 50355606: Frozen organic pernambuco pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50355606 Frozen organic pernambuco pineapple is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity appearing in recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The source opportunities span frozen and fresh grocery procurement for school nutrition programs—including comprehensive grocery items, frozen foods, fresh produce, eggs, and food service distribution—across multiple school districts and one city government. None of the opportunities specifically identify pineapple (organic or pernambuco) as a procurement focus, nor do they emphasize frozen pineapple as a line item. The code appears to be a mismatch with the work actually being solicited; state and local buyers under this code are purchasing broad-based food-service items for child nutrition programs rather than a specific commodity.

The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) and one municipality (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), all procuring through IFB and RFP notices for fiscal year 2026–27 school year contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 span Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items across breakfast, frozen products, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat products (BNB052266); Hancock County Board of Education's June 26, 2026 IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items including berries, apples, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty items (PE67080NONST2027000000013); and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million (PE64810NONST2026000000047).
