UNSPSC 50451847: Frozen organic string beans

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

UNSPSC 50451847 Frozen organic string beans, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable and frozen vegetables that state and local governments procure for food service operations, including senior nutrition programs, school lunch systems, and county nutrition assistance. Recent solicitations frame the work as bulk food purchasing — dozens to thousands of cases of individual food items, often bundled with complementary proteins, starches, and produce in multi-line RFQs and sealed-bid procurements. The issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, state agencies, and school districts, with school systems emerging as the most active recent buyers; Early County Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners both solicited frozen or canned vegetables as line items within broader food-service awards during 2026.

Activity clusters in Georgia, where Gwinnett County issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026), Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items spanning vegetables and fruits (due June 8, 2026), and the State of Georgia itself posted a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium and no-added-sugar formulations, and USDA compliance; contracts typically run July through June with multi-year renewal options, F.O.B. destination delivery requirements, and firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation reviews tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Award criteria center on lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing, often calculated per ounce or equivalent unit, with split awards by line item permitted when districts find it advantageous.
