UNSPSC 50111540 Frog, minimally processed with additions is a Commodity code that in practice covers minimally processed food products with minor additions supplied to institutional food service operations, though the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect specific frog procurement — instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service supply categories including fresh produce, eggs, poultry, meats, dairy, and prepared items for school nutrition programs and state purchasing vehicles. State and local issuing bodies pursuing contracts under this code are predominantly school districts and boards of education, supported by cooperative purchasing consortiums such as the GEC Buying Cooperative that aggregate demand across multiple districts. The work is straightforward commodity procurement: line-by-line or category-based food bidding for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with vendors competing on unit pricing, compliance with USDA specifications (whole-grain requirements, Grade A pasteurization standards, low-sodium and additive-free formulations), domestic sourcing, and logistics (temperature-controlled delivery, stock rotation, shelf-life management). Insurance, debarment verification, HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and food recall procedures are standard vendor qualifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (closing March 4, 2026; estimated $5.5 million annual spend across 30 districts in two geographic areas), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food and non-food bid (due June 8, 2026; covering 300+ food items and 60+ supply items for three schools), and the State of Georgia's broad food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). Awards are typically made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item basis to allow multiple vendors, with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 of the following year, firm pricing for 15 days post-award, and automatic renewal options for up to three additional years when the cooperating entity does not provide non-renewal notice. No specific set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions apply to the recent opportunities sourced.
