UNSPSC 50356900: Frozen organic tamarillo

The type of organic fruit known as organic tamarillo that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356900 Frozen organic tamarillo, a Class code, encompasses frozen and fresh produce items procured by state and local education and food service entities, though recent solicitations show minimal activity specifically targeting frozen organic tamarillo and instead reflect broader school nutrition procurement across multiple produce categories. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through school districts and county boards of education that operate National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, supplemented by municipal and state procurement for institutional food service. Recent solicitations emphasize compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, USDA whole-grain and nutrition standards, and adherence to Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act requirements. Vendors must deliver Monday through Friday within specified windows, typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., to central warehouses and individual school sites on standard pallets with freight prepaid. Issuing bodies span independent school districts of varying size—from Rockwood R-VI serving roughly 19,000 students to smaller districts like Early County and Hancock County—as well as city school systems such as Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County, plus county boards of education and city departments of public purchases. Price agreements typically run July 1 through June 30 annually, with firm pricing throughout the contract term and renewal options extending up to three or four additional years.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation covering over 200 produce line items with June 26 bid deadline, and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas (proposals due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two). Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items with April 29, 2026 deadline, while Decatur City Schools issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items to ten school sites (due May 15, 2026). Savannah-Chatham County Public School System procured 72 fresh produce items across 60 school sites (due April 23, 2026). Vendors must carry minimum general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and typically $2,000,000 aggregate, satisfy E-Verify authorization, and provide three professional references with capability statements and food recall procedures.
