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 that captures frozen vegetable products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code is applied primarily to broader food-supply contracts encompassing shelf-stable and fresh proteins, produce, dairy, and non-food kitchen supplies rather than to broccolini specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of commissioners, state purchasing offices, and school district food-service departments. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education have posted recent opportunities; the school district in particular emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, signaling that nutritional standards and sourcing preferences shape vendor competition in the K–12 segment.

Georgia drives the recent activity visible in this code's records. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026; award is by lowest unit cost evaluated per ounce or equivalent measure, with F.O.B. Destination and inside delivery required to Lawrenceville. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026 (full scope details were in an attached PDF). Early County Board of Education posted an IFB (invitation for bid) on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line food and non-food bids supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with bids due June 8, 2026; the district requires Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, $500,000 general liability insurance, E-Verify verification, and allows contract piggybacking by other school districts on identical terms, with a contract term from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and optional extensions up to three months.
