UNSPSC 50451824: Frozen organic green beans

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

UNSPSC 50451824 Frozen organic green beans is a Commodity code that captures procurement of frozen produce items, specifically organic green beans, for state and local nutrition and food service programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying frozen and fresh produce, dairy, grains, prepared entrees, and ancillary food service supplies—often as part of broader nutrition procurement but sometimes as individual line items within larger food bids. The mix of issuing bodies reflects school nutrition dominance: independent school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state agencies (State of Georgia) are the primary buyers. Scope of work ranges from fresh produce and frozen foods to breakfast and lunch program staples, with vendors required to meet USDA compliance, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, Buy American provisions, E-Verify authorization, and minimum liability insurance thresholds ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on issuer). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, with renewal options up to three or four additional one-year terms based on performance.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Missouri, with recent activity from Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, City Schools of Decatur, and the State of Georgia on the East Coast, and Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri in the interior. Dallas ISD in Texas represents additional activity in the Southwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), sealed proposals due March 4, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System bid for fresh produce (Bid 26-34) encompassing 72 line items and 60 school sites, sealed bids due April 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET; the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with sealed bids due May 15, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. EST; and the Rockwood R-VI School District electronic bid for over 900 line items of grocery items due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT. School districts typically award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on a line-item or lot basis, allowing multiple vendors, with pricing firm for the contract term and no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
