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 that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying frozen and fresh produce items to support child nutrition programs, primarily through school districts' National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county boards of education, supplemented by city school systems and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts. Recent opportunities show school nutrition programs are sourcing across broad produce categories—fresh apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, specialty fruits including papayas and starfruit, and processed or single-serve produce items—with frozen specialty items like black sapotes appearing within larger, multi-category grocery and produce solicitations rather than as stand-alone line items.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) issuing IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery items including frozen products due June 30, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) issuing Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million, proposals due March 4, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issuing solicitation CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027 for over 900 grocery line items due April 29, 2026.
