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 frozen fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure frozen pineapple under this code primarily for school nutrition programs, where it appears as a line item within larger grocery and frozen-food solicitations spanning breakfast items, snacks, fruits, and prepared components. The work does not involve procurement of pineapple alone but rather pineapple's inclusion in multi-category food service contracts that school districts and educational agencies award to food distributors and vendors. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts — Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System appear across recent opportunities — alongside city purchasing offices acting on behalf of school boards, such as the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases procuring for the Bridgeport Board of Education. The Georgia Department of Education also issues statewide food supply solicitations. These jurisdictions typically award one-year or multi-year contracts running July 1 through June 30, with options to extend or renew, and emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with USDA meal program requirements.
