UNSPSC 50357035: Frozen organic soursops

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

UNSPSC 50357035 Frozen organic soursops (Commodity) describes one product line within school nutrition procurement — chilled or frozen produce items — though the recent opportunities under this code span much broader grocery and fresh produce categories for state and local school districts. What school districts actually buy under this classification ranges from frozen fruits and vegetables to fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food service items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education at the county and municipal level, supplemented by state procurement (Georgia's State Department of Education) and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative, which aggregates demand across multiple districts. School districts solicit through IFB, RFP, and RFQ notices with firm fixed pricing, Buy American provisions (51% domestic agricultural content), HACCP plan compliance, and strict nutritional standards including whole-grain and low-sodium formulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce with a June 26, 2026 response deadline covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and specialty items; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a June 30, 2026 deadline supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services; the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) grocery procurement with approximately 900 line items and an April 29, 2026 deadline; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two regions, estimated at $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a May 15, 2026 deadline. Delivery typically occurs Monday through Friday with no separate fuel surcharges, and contract terms run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options.
