UNSPSC 50357018: Frozen organic jujube

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

UNSPSC 50357018 Frozen organic jujube (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, despite nominal focus on a single specialty produce item. The recent solicitations indexed under this code actually span broad school nutrition procurement — frozen and fresh produce, grocery items, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared foods — rather than frozen jujubes specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow name and the wide scope of goods actually being bought suggests either mis-categorization by issuing bodies or that frozen jujubes are bundled as a minor line item within larger food-service contracts. State and local buyers sourcing under this code are primarily school districts and boards of education, supported by municipal school systems, county school authorities, and one state agency (Georgia). Representative issuing bodies include the City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases. All solicitations center on National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, HACCP plans, and firm pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Missouri, with additional activity in Connecticut and multi-district cooperative purchasing through the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts. The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, with deliveries to ten school sites and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce under Bid 26-34 with bids due April 23, 2026, covering 72 produce items and 60 school delivery locations across an annual contract renewable for two additional one-year terms. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited grocery items with electronic bids due April 29, 2026 through the NUTRIKIDS system, covering over 900 line items for an estimated 6,900 daily lunch and 900 breakfast participants. The City of Bridgeport issued an IFB for grocery items (BNB052266) due June 30, 2026, supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with over 1,100 line items and delivery to a central warehouse plus designated school sites.
