UNSPSC 50355905: Frozen organic pat's red pomegranates

The variety of organic pomegranates known as organic pat's red pomegranates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355905 Frozen organic pat's red pomegranates is a Commodity code that frames food procurement activity in state and local government, though the recent opportunities block shows little activity specifically matching frozen pomegranates. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for broad-based food supply contracts serving school nutrition programs, county senior services, and municipal food assistance. The scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under this code spans shelf-stable and fresh foods, frozen products, dairy, proteins, produce, and condiments — typically in high-volume, multi-line-item contracts supporting meal programs. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county human services departments, city education departments, and state purchasing offices. School districts appear as the primary repeat buyers, with multiple Georgia school systems (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education) and Connecticut's Bridgeport Board of Education soliciting food supplies during 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and melons for the 2026–27 school year, with bids due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid encompassing 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for July 2026 through June 2027 award, with responses due June 8, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content appear standard in school-based solicitations. Most contracts run July through June to align with school-year funding cycles, and award typically favors the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit basis.
