UNSPSC 50355903: Frozen organic jolly red pomegranates

The variety of organic pomegranates known as organic jolly red pomegranates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355903 Frozen organic jolly red pomegranates, a Commodity code, covers frozen specialty produce for institutional food service, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows minimal recent volume relative to broader fresh and frozen fruit purchasing. State and local governments buy shelf-stable and frozen fruits primarily through consolidated food-service contracts that span multiple produce categories rather than as single-commodity line items. School districts, county social-services agencies, and municipal purchasing offices issue the majority of food-procurement solicitations, with school nutrition programs dominating volume due to National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program requirements. Issuing bodies include state departments, county boards of education, county departments of community services, and city school systems. Contracts typically enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium preferences, HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, and E-Verify compliance. Pricing is firm fixed with no fuel or freight surcharges permitted, and awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with over 200 line items covering apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus spanning July 2026 through June 2027, with bids due June 26, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and sauces under IWQ 140229 via informal written quotes due October 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) sought over 1,100 line items of grocery items including frozen products for the Bridgeport Board of Education via electronic bid due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American and whole-grain nutrition standards. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food and paper supplies via line-by-line bid due June 8, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation due June 22, 2026. The specific pomegranate commodity appears within broader institutional food-service solicitations only incidentally, if at all—recent opportunities emphasize apples, berries, fresh vegetables, canned proteins, and dairy at volume.
