UNSPSC 50451834: Frozen organic lima beans

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

UNSPSC 50451834 Frozen organic lima beans is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen vegetable products — specifically frozen legumes and bean preparations — sourced by state and local food service operations. In recent practice, this code appears within broader frozen food and grocery procurement solicitations issued by school districts and state agencies serving their institutional meal programs. State and local governments buy frozen organic lima beans as part of comprehensive food service contracts that bundle vegetables, proteins, grains, and prepared items for child nutrition programs and general institutional food service. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts — including Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas — along with state-level food procurement offices in Georgia. These districts solicit frozen and fresh produce through RFPs and IFBs on an annual or multi-year contract basis to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary participation from Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB response due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items including vegetables and legumes with domestic sourcing preferences and low-sodium formulations; the City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (response due May 15, 2026) specifying whole-grain and low-trans-fat compliance for frozen items delivered to ten school sites; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement (electronic bid due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with firm pricing for the full contract period; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce annual contract (sealed bid due April 23, 2026) with 72 produce items and renewal options for up to two additional one-year terms; and Dallas Independent School District's various food products RFP (response due April 2, 2026) for non-commodity items excluding artificial colors and high-fructose corn syrup under Texas Legislative Bill #314. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 and require vendors to hold $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance, comply with Buy American provisions and E-Verify authorization, maintain HACCP plans, and deliver on fixed schedules with transportation included in pricing.
