UNSPSC 50451916: Frozen organic formanova beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic formanova beets that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451916 Frozen organic formanova beets is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service programs, senior services, school lunch and breakfast initiatives, and general government nutrition support — not exclusively frozen organic beets, but a range of produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and condiments. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of commissioners, state departments, and school district boards of education. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education have posted opportunities in the recent record, with school districts and county senior services programs representing the primary users. Food procurement under this code emphasizes USDA compliance, domestic sourcing where required, nutritional specifications (whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives), brand-or-approved-equivalent flexibility, and firm pricing with escalation protections tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service and Consumer Price Index benchmarks.

Georgia is the dominant jurisdiction in the recent activity. Gwinnett County posted IWQ 140229, an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services with quotes due October 19, 2026, requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 with F.O.B. destination and inside delivery. The State of Georgia posted a formal bid on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date, with full scope and pricing in attached documentation. Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300+ food items plus 60+ non-food and paper cleaning supplies to support the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, Buy American and HACCP compliance required, $500,000 general liability insurance, and allowance for piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms.
