UNSPSC 50451841: Frozen organic mung beans

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

UNSPSC 50451841 Frozen organic mung beans is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect procurement of frozen organic mung beans or specialized frozen legumes. Instead, the opportunities show that this code encompasses broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations, covering comprehensive food supplies including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and miscellaneous kitchen products delivered to schools, warehouses, and central distribution points. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia), with school nutrition programs driving the majority of demand. The scope includes line-item bidding for hundreds of food items spanning fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, dairy, condiments, and non-food supplies; strict compliance with USDA standards, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, and low-sodium or whole-grain formulations; and firm pricing with quarterly or six-month escalation review permitted only with documented market data.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional solicitations from Texas and broader coverage across multiple school districts within individual states. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (IFB due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies across three schools with domestic sourcing preferences; the City Schools of Decatur's Invitation for Bid for frozen foods and grocery items (IFB due May 15, 2026) to supply ten schools with $1 million general liability insurance required and quarterly price adjustments capped at 10 percent; the Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement of over 900 grocery line items (bids due April 29, 2026, via NUTRIKIDS) serving approximately 7,800 daily meal participants; the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 districts with estimated spending of $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two; and the Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026) with emphasis on M/WBE participation and compliance with Texas Bill #314 prohibiting artificial colors, flavors, and high-fructose corn syrup. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options and require vendors to include delivery charges in pricing, maintain commercial liability insurance, and comply with E-Verify and federal debarment certifications.
