UNSPSC 50452100: Frozen organic brussel sprouts

The type of organic vegetable known as organic brussel sprouts that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452100 Frozen organic brussel sprouts is a Class code that encompasses frozen vegetable products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts, to support child nutrition programs, food service operations, and institutional meal provision. Recent state and local solicitations show that governments buy frozen and fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and packaged food items under this broader commodity family, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer category. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District), state departments (Georgia), and county school systems (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County). Solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, HACCP plan maintenance, food recall procedures, commercial general liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum per occurrence), and firm pricing with limited escalation allowances tied to third-party indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
