UNSPSC 50451819: Frozen organic fava beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic fava beans that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451819 Frozen organic fava beans is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen produce items procured by state and local school districts and government agencies to support meal programs and institutional food service operations. State and local buyers under this code source frozen vegetables, including organic varieties, as components of broader food-service procurement contracts that emphasize compliance with USDA nutrition standards, whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, domestic-product preferences, and food safety requirements including HACCP plans and recall procedures. School districts dominate solicitation activity under the code, with recent opportunities from Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District. These buyers typically procure frozen items through competitive bid processes (IFB or RFP) that group frozen produce and grocery items alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and supplies as part of line-by-line or lot-based annual contracts supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. State procurement offices in Georgia and general food-service cooperatives also issue solicitations covering frozen produce as part of broader commodity food purchasing.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with additional procurement from Texas and multi-state cooperative arrangements. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFP due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300+ food items including frozen vegetables supporting three schools under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with emphasis on low-sodium and no-added-sugar formulations and domestic sourcing. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB due May 15, 2026, for frozen foods and grocery items meeting whole-grain and zero-trans-fat specifications for ten school sites during the 2026–2027 school year, requiring HACCP plans and $1,000,000 general liability insurance. The Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicited bids due April 29, 2026, for over 900 line items including frozen produce categories for approximately 7,800 daily lunch and breakfast participants across the 2026–2027 contract period. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP due April 2, 2026, for various food products including frozen items not covered by main commodity bids, with delivery to its central warehouse and compliance with Texas Legislative Bill #314 restrictions on artificial colors, artificial flavors, and high-fructose corn syrup. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing for the full term and options to renew for one to three additional years based on vendor performance.
