UNSPSC 50452000: Frozen organic broccoli

The type of organic vegetable known as organic broccoli that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452000 Frozen organic broccoli is a Class code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for community services, senior centers, school nutrition programs, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that purchasing under this code spans multi-item food procurement rather than single-commodity buys—state and local bodies are acquiring mixed baskets of canned proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, fresh produce, and specialty items like organic vegetables as part of broader food service contracts. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing community services and senior programs, state purchasing offices, and school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education appear as recent buyers; school districts and county departments of community services dominate the recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, with Gwinnett County (suburban Atlanta) posting an IWQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 deadline. Early County Board of Education posted a line-item food bid on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items supporting school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. School district procurements emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; delivery windows are constrained to early morning hours Monday through Friday, and vendors must carry $500,000 general liability insurance and comply with Buy American provisions.
