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 is a Commodity-tier code that captures state and local procurement of frozen vegetable products, specifically organic string beans, for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and state agencies purchasing frozen vegetables as components of broader food service contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code appears in procurement contexts where frozen produce sits alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and staple groceries within consolidated food-service bids. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school systems, with occasional state-level procurement activity. The City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District have all posted nutrition-program bids in the recent window. School districts dominate the buyer mix, reflecting the weight of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program procurement across K–12 food service.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with representation from Texas. The Douglas County School System issued a request for proposal for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia (estimated $4.4 million for Area One, $1.1 million for Area Two) with a due date of March 4, 2026, and a separate RFP for food supply and distribution services with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 due February 18, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur posted an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a bid-opening date of May 19, 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri issued a bid for over 900 grocery line items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026. Early County Board of Education in Georgia sought line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program with a due date of June 8, 2026. All recent contracts feature firm pricing for the full contract period (typically July through June), delivery requirements to multiple school sites during restricted hours, HACCP and food safety compliance, Buy American provisions, and general liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. Contract periods run one year with renewal options up to three or four additional years at the school district's discretion.
