UNSPSC 50452003: Frozen organic broccoli raab

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 under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable and refrigerated produce items, particularly frozen organic vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts. The code appears in solicitations for institutional food purchasing across county social-services programs, state-level food-supply programs, and school districts operating national-meal programs. Recent opportunities show the code embedded within broader food bids that span dozens of line items—canned proteins, grains, condiments, vegetables, dairy, and non-food service supplies—rather than as a standalone frozen-produce category. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners managing senior-services nutrition programs, state procurement offices managing statewide food-supply contracts, and school district boards of education sourcing for breakfast and lunch programs. The solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, low-sodium and whole-grain options where applicable, USDA compliance, and buy-American provisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items across 35 line items, with quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid on May 15, 2026, with a June 22, 2026 response deadline; the full scope and line items are contained in an attached solicitation document. Early County Board of Education released an FY27 Food Bid on May 11, 2026, for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and paper supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. These contracts typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with prices firm for 15 days post-award and subject to escalation or de-escalation on a six-month basis supported by USDA or CPI data.
