UNSPSC 50452004: Frozen organic chinese broccoli

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

UNSPSC 50452004 Frozen organic chinese broccoli is a Commodity code representing specialty produce items procured through state and local school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying frozen and fresh produce—including broccoli, other vegetables, fruits, and related fresh-produce categories—as components of larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone frozen broccoli line items. The code appears in procurement activity alongside broader grocery and food-supply solicitations where frozen vegetables function as one product category among many; the actual scope of buying extends well beyond a single vegetable to encompass mixed frozen and fresh produce batches, eggs, and complementary items sourced for child nutrition and institutional meal programs. Issuing bodies include school districts (both independent and county systems), state departments, and special-purpose entities such as buying cooperatives. School districts dominate the recent activity—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District all solicited produce and food products in the past four months—alongside state procurement offices in Georgia.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for Fresh Produce and Eggs (due March 4, 2026, spanning 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two); the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies across three schools under the National School Lunch Program); and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for Various Food Products (due April 2, 2026, for delivery to the Maria Luna Warehouse covering the 2026-2027 school year). The City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for Frozen Foods and Grocery items (due May 15, 2026, to ten designated school sites with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Most solicitations require sealed bids or proposals through electronic procurement portals, call for firm pricing inclusive of delivery, mandate HACCP compliance and food-safety documentation, and include renewal or extension options extending one to four additional years. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and adherence to ingredient restrictions (such as prohibitions on artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup under state law).
