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

UNSPSC 50452003 Frozen organic broccoli raab is a Commodity code that encompasses procurement of frozen organic vegetable products for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and state agency cafeteria operations. State and local government buyers solicit frozen produce items as components of larger food-service contracts that bundle fresh and frozen vegetables, proteins, grains, and dry goods into comprehensive annual supply agreements. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies acquiring frozen vegetables alongside fresh produce, dairy, and prepared foods to support child nutrition and employee meal programs. The issuing bodies include state education agencies, independent school districts of varying sizes, and county school systems across the United States, with school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer category. These jurisdictions typically award food contracts on a line-item or category basis to multiple vendors, allowing different suppliers to provide specialized product lines such as frozen produce, fresh produce, proteins, or dairy.
