UNSPSC 50356501: Frozen organic white sapotes

The variety of organic sapotes known as organic white sapotes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356501 Frozen organic white sapotes, a Commodity code, nominally describes a single produce product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reveal a mismatch: the solicitations actually procure broad food-supply contracts spanning shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, dairy, meat, baked goods, and non-food kitchen supplies rather than the specialized frozen organic fruit the code name implies. State and local governments issuing food solicitations under this code include county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), city school boards (Bridgeport), county service departments (Gwinnett County), and state governments (Georgia Department of Purchases). The opportunities reflect National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement, seasonal fresh produce for school nutrition services, and shelf-stable food items for senior services and community departments, typically with contract periods running one school or fiscal year and firm fixed pricing.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) for school year 2026–27 with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 electronic bid for over 1,100 grocery line items (breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, meat products) subject to Buy American provisions and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards, bids due June 30, 2026; and Early County Schools' June 2026 line-by-line bid for approximately 300+ food items plus 60 non-food and paper cleaning supplies, bids due June 8, 2026. Vendors typically face Buy American content requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural ingredients), HACCP plan compliance, three professional references, insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability), and E-Verify authorization for contracts exceeding $2,499.99.
