UNSPSC 50355907: Frozen organic purple velvet pomegranates

The variety of organic pomegranates known as organic purple velvet pomegranates that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355907 Frozen organic purple velvet pomegranates is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice covers a much broader range of food products than the code's nominal title suggests. The recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy general grocery items, fresh and frozen produce, shelf-stable pantry staples, school lunch program ingredients, and institutional food-service supplies under this code. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, city school districts, county boards of commissioners, and state departments of agriculture or food services. The mix spans rural and urban districts, with school nutrition programs representing a substantial share of activity. Most solicitations are issued as IFBs or informal written quotes (IWQs), with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item or overall-price basis.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the school district's Food & Nutrition Services Department, subject to Buy American and National School Lunch Program requirements, with bids due June 30, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026; and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line food bid covering meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and paper supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, due June 8, 2026.
