UNSPSC 50355610: Frozen organic variegated pineapple

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

UNSPSC 50355610 Frozen organic variegated pineapple is a Commodity code that captures frozen tropical fruit products purchased by state and local school nutrition programs to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. In practice, state and local buyers procure frozen pineapple alongside broader frozen fruit, fresh produce, and grocery categories, often as line items within larger comprehensive food service bids rather than standalone commodity purchases. Recent solicitations show frozen fruit appearing in mixed frozen food and grocery procurements, though the source does not isolate pineapple as a standalone bid line. School districts issuing under this code include city boards of education (Bridgeport, Decatur), county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), regional school systems (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI School District), and state-level procurements (State of Georgia). These jurisdictions serve student populations ranging from under 6,900 to over 25,500 students and procure food through Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) processes, often using e-procurement platforms such as OpenGov, Bonfire, and NUTRIKIDS. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, carry liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000, satisfy E-Verify and debarment verification requirements, and meet USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain specifications and low-sodium formulations.
