UNSPSC 50357020: Frozen organic mangosteens

The type of organic fruit known as organic mangosteens that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50357020 Frozen organic mangosteens is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect a broader scope of school nutrition procurement spanning grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, and full-line food service distribution. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and school systems—including the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—along with occasional participation by state departments (Georgia) and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). These school nutrition programs operate under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with procurement requirements that emphasize Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, food safety compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium standards, and delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites on weekly schedules, typically Monday through Friday. Contracts run calendar-school-year terms (July 1 through June 30) with firm pricing throughout, no fuel surcharges, and payment within 30–45 days of delivery and inspection.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, where Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Early County Board of Education have all posted fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery solicitations between January and June 2026, with additional activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport, due June 30, 2026, IFB) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, due April 29, 2026). The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual expenditure of $5.5 million (approximately $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two) represents one of the larger recent opportunities; the companion RFP SN 26-003 for main-line food supply and distribution to Douglas County alone carries an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. The Bridgeport IFB (BNB052266) spans over 1,100 line items including frozen products, requiring electronic submission through OpenGov e-Procurement with questions due June 15, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (PE67080NONST2027000000013) covers over 200 line items with bid opening June 29, 2026 and award to lowest responsive bidder, potentially multiple vendors.
