UNSPSC 50355608: Frozen organic smooth cayenne pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50355608 Frozen organic smooth cayenne pineapple is a Commodity code that captures specialized produce procurement by state and local food service programs, though state and local governments buy this item rarely and only as part of much broader shelf-stable or fresh-produce food contracts. The recent opportunities show school districts, counties, and state agencies procuring food for the National School Lunch Program, school breakfast programs, senior services, and institutional food operations—and when frozen pineapple appears on a bid, it sits among dozens or hundreds of other items (canned proteins, fresh produce, dairy, meats, vegetables, grains, condiments) on line-by-line bids. The work is transactional and commodity-based: vendors quote unit prices, meet USDA Buy American and nutritional-content requirements, deliver to central warehouses or school sites on set schedules, maintain temperature and freshness standards, and compete on lowest responsive pricing. Issuing bodies include school district nutrition departments, county senior-services divisions, and state procurement offices. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (October 2026 RFQ), City of Bridgeport Board of Education (June 2026 RFB), Hancock County Board of Education (June 2026 IFB), State of Georgia (June 2026 IFB), and Early County Board of Education (June 2026 IFB) have all posted broad food-procurement solicitations where this code applies.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Connecticut based on recent postings, though the code spans any jurisdiction with institutional food-service programs. The most recent representative opportunity is Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026, delivery to Lawrenceville, Georgia by December 7, 2026, and award to the lowest responsive bidder. Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, specialty items) with delivery to three school sites and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 illustrates the scale and term of school-nutrition procurement. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB encompassed 300-plus food items and 60 non-food supplies with bids due June 8, 2026, underscoring the line-item-based, volume-centric nature of these buys. Most solicitations stress Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, E-Verify certification, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and many reserve the right to split awards across multiple vendors or extend contracts for additional years.
