UNSPSC 50356902: Frozen organic bold gold tamarillo

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

UNSPSC 50356902 Frozen organic bold gold tamarillo is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual products state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no tamarillo purchases. Instead, school districts and municipalities are soliciting frozen and fresh produce, grocery items, dairy, meats, and complete food service distributions to support school nutrition programs and child nutrition services. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System—along with the State of Georgia. The scope spans breakfast and lunch program support under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with stringent requirements for Buy American domestic-content compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients), HACCP plans, whole-grain standards, low-sodium formulations, proper labeling with nutrition fact panels, and CN labels. Deliveries are made Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites, with firm fixed pricing including all packing and transportation charges and no fuel surcharges permitted. Vendors must carry general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, comply with E-Verify requirements, and pass debarment and suspension verification.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with additional solicitations in Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases soliciting over 1,100 line items of grocery items with an electronic bid deadline of June 30, 2026 (RFQ BNB052266); Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items and a sealed bid due date of June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri soliciting over 900 grocery line items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System procuring fresh produce and eggs through a cooperative buying vehicle serving 30 school districts across Georgia under RFP SN 26-004, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined for both geographic areas. The code shows substantial recent activity, but the UNSPSC classification itself appears misaligned with the actual purchasing patterns—no state or local solicitations in the recent block specifically request frozen organic tamarillo or similar specialty tropical produce items.
