UNSPSC 50357019: Frozen organic lychee

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

UNSPSC 50357019 Frozen organic lychee (Commodity) describes fresh and frozen produce items that state and local school districts procure to support child nutrition and lunch programs. However, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for frozen organic lychee; instead, it shows school nutrition procurements for broad grocery baskets, fresh produce assortments, and frozen-food categories. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items (posted June 30, 2026) spanning breakfast items, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, and meats for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services; Hancock County Board of Education issued an IFB for fresh produce covering apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus (due June 26, 2026); and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited bids for over 900 grocery-line items including snacks, fruits, vegetables, and prepared entrees (due April 29, 2026). All procurement emphasizes Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food safety plans, and compliance with federal Title VII CFR regulations. Products must be delivered Monday through Friday to central warehouses or designated school sites with no separate fuel surcharges permitted, and prices remain firm throughout the contract term unless documented market changes occur.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education, including Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside one state-level procurement (State of Georgia, posted May 15, 2026) and the City of Bridgeport. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary representation from Connecticut. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serves 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. Awards are made line-item or multi-vendor based on lowest qualified pricing; vendor qualifications typically require three to five years' experience with public schools, commercial general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, current business licenses, E-Verify compliance, and food recall procedures. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are noted across these solicitations.
