UNSPSC 50452001: Frozen organic broccolini

The variety of organic broccoli known as organic broccolini that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452001 Frozen organic broccolini is a Commodity code representing a single frozen vegetable product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and child nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations show this code capturing frozen produce items within comprehensive school lunch and food service contracts, though the code itself appears primarily in aggregated food procurement notices rather than as a standalone line item. School districts and state agencies buying under this code source frozen vegetables as components of National School Lunch Program (NSLP) compliance, kitchen operations, and institutional meal preparation, typically bundled with fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and other nutrition staples. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state procurement offices, with occasional participation from county systems and state agency food services. 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 represent the district-level buyers active in the market; state-level buyers include the State of Georgia purchasing food and produce for institutional operations.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with additional solicitations from Texas and nationwide scope through cooperative purchasing arrangements. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (closing March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; the same district issued RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (closing February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million for 32 schools serving 25,500 students. The State of Georgia issued IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026) and a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026). Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting NSLP and School Breakfast Program across three schools. City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) covering 10 school sites, and Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) with multiple suppliers and two designated lots. All recent solicitations require firm pricing, HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and domestic sourcing preferences where applicable; contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options.
