UNSPSC 50356502: Frozen organic black sapotes

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

UNSPSC 50356502 Frozen organic black sapotes is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are in fact procuring broad food-service supplies — shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, and proteins — for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. The code's nominal scope (a single specialty fruit) diverges sharply from what is actually being bought in recent solicitations. School districts, county social-services departments, and state procurement offices dominate the issuing-body mix, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding and compliance requirements. Solicitations emphasize Buy American domestic agricultural-content thresholds (typically 51 percent for processed items), adherence to the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food-safety plans, E-Verify and debarment verification, and insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items — apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruits — with bids due June 26, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) sought informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, and pasta, due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education posted an RFQ for over 1,100 line items across breakfast items, frozen products, dairy, and meat on June 30, 2026, requiring compliance with Buy American provisions, nutritional labeling, and blind product testing. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested bids on 300-plus food items and 60 non-food supplies with delivery across three schools, due June 8, 2026. The State of Georgia also solicited food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline. The code shows no targeted activity in frozen organic black sapotes specifically; opportunities tagged with this code reflect general food-service procurement by education and social-services agencies.
