UNSPSC 50451906 Frozen organic burpees golden beets is a Commodity code that, based on the recent solicitation record, does not align with the work actually being procured under its reference number. The recent opportunities tagged with this code document school district and state procurement activity for broad food service categories including fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries, dairy products, prepared entrees, and comprehensive food supply and distribution — none of which correspond to the specific commodity named in the code. The issuing bodies are exclusively state education agencies and public school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and state procurement offices (State of Georgia), all of which procure food products to support National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and general school nutrition operations. These jurisdictions rely on annual or multi-year IFB and RFP cycles tied to fiscal-year calendars running July through June.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with additional solicitation in Texas. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026) and a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). The Douglas County School System in Georgia released two parallel RFPs: one for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (proposals due February 18, 2026) and a second for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperating districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in one geographic area and $1.1 million in another (proposals due March 4, 2026). The Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited bids for over 900 grocery line items serving 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily (electronic bids due April 29, 2026). The City Schools of Decatur, Georgia issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with a sealed-bid deadline of May 15, 2026 and optional virtual pre-bid conference on April 29, 2026. The code shows active procurement volume but exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the work being purchased.
