The variety of organic tamarillo known as organic amberlea gold tamarillo that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50356901 Frozen organic amberlea gold tamarillo is a Commodity code that bears a nominal scope far narrower than the work state and local governments actually solicit under it. Recent opportunities tagged with this code show that school districts, county boards, and state departments are procuring broad food-service supplies — shelf-stable and frozen proteins, produce, dairy, grains, condiments, and non-food kitchen items — to support National School Lunch Program operations, senior services nutrition programs, and institutional food operations. The actual buying spans hundreds of line items per solicitation, with vendors required to meet USDA nutrition standards, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP food-safety plans, E-Verify compliance, food-recall procedures, and detailed nutritional labeling. Issuing bodies include school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county commissioners (Gwinnett County), and state departments (State of Georgia), alongside local public-purchase offices acting as procurement agents for school nutrition programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items, bids due June 26, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (response due October 19, 2026), Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and non-food supplies (bids due June 8, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases sought bids on over 1,100 grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department (electronic bids due June 30, 2026). The State of Georgia also posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). All awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; pricing is firm for the contract term, typically July 1 through June 30, with no separate fuel surcharges permitted and delivery required within specified windows (often 48 hours). Vendors must provide three professional references, pass blind product testing by school personnel, carry commercial general liability and products liability insurance, and document compliance with applicable federal and state verification requirements.
