UNSPSC 50357037: Frozen organic tamarindo

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

UNSPSC 50357037 Frozen organic tamarindo is a Commodity code that does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—frozen tamarindo—appears in none of the recent opportunities in the source. Instead, school districts, county boards of education, and municipal purchasing departments are soliciting for comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement that spans hundreds of line items across frozen products, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared items to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The Commodity code as named does not align with what state and local buying bodies are actually purchasing under this classification.

The recent opportunities show heavy concentration among school nutrition programs, which dominate the issuing-body mix: 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 all posted solicitations between February and June 2026. The State of Georgia also issued a food supplies procurement in May 2026. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri, with multiple school districts in Georgia posting overlapping bid cycles in the same windows. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026 (electronically through OpenGov), supporting the National School Lunch Program with Buy American requirements and firm pricing through June 2027; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for 200+ fresh produce items due June 26, 2026 with delivery to three school sites; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One, due March 4, 2026 through the GEC Buying Cooperative. All school food service contracts emphasize HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, Buy American domestic-content verification, whole-grain and low-sodium standards, and firm pricing with transportation included. The code shows no relevant activity at the Commodity level as named.
