UNSPSC 50357017: Frozen organic jambolan

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

UNSPSC 50357017 Frozen organic jambolan, a Commodity code, nominally identifies a single specialty fruit product, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect procurement of frozen organic jambolan itself. Instead, the code appears in school district and municipal food service solicitations that span comprehensive grocery and fresh produce procurement — including frozen products, fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy, grains, and prepared items — for child nutrition programs and school lunch operations. The work being solicited encompasses vendor selection for annual school nutrition contracts where suppliers furnish hundreds of line items across multiple categories, all subject to USDA compliance (including Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety plans, federal nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and delivery to multiple school sites on firm-fixed pricing with transportation included.

Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and school boards across multiple states, complemented by municipal purchasing offices. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB for over 200 fresh produce line items due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (line-by-line food and non-food bid due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur in Georgia (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (900+ grocery items due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $4.4 to $5.5 million). Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school districts as the dominant buyer type. The code shows active state and local procurement volume, though the mismatch between the UNSPSC code name and the actual solicitation scope suggests misclassification within state and local procurement systems.
