UNSPSC 50357026: Frozen organic prickly pears

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

UNSPSC 50357026 Frozen organic prickly pears (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local school districts and cities procure frozen and fresh produce as components of broader school meal and institutional food service contracts, but the recent opportunities reflect generic frozen foods, fresh produce baskets spanning dozens of commodity lines, and comprehensive grocery procurement—not prickly pears specifically or any frozen exotic produce category. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) encompasses over 1,100 line items including frozen products as one category among cereals, baked goods, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats; Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) lists over 200 line items of common fresh produce (apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, citrus, melons, leafy greens); and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitation (posted March 31, 2026) covers over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, cereals, dairy, beverages, condiments, and meats. None of these solicitations name frozen prickly pears or identify exotic frozen produce as a category. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County, Early County, Rockwood R-VI, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County) supported by municipal procurement on behalf of school nutrition programs, and one state-level procurement (Georgia) for institutional food supply.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional solicitations posted from Connecticut and school districts across multiple states. Representative procurements include the Hancock County Schools fresh produce IFB (Georgia, due June 26, 2026) requesting sealed bids for 200+ produce line items, the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (Georgia, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, and Rockwood R-VI's grocery bid (Missouri, due April 29, 2026) seeking electronic submissions for 900+ line items. The code does not support targeted procurement of frozen prickly pears or any specialty frozen produce; opportunities reflect commodity-aggregated institutional food service contracts where frozen produce is one line item among broad baskets of proteins, fresh produce, grains, and supplies. Pursuit is not recommended absent evidence of active demand for this specific commodity within state and local school nutrition procurement.
