UNSPSC 50452300: Frozen organic cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50452300 Frozen organic cabbages is a Class code that designates a single produce commodity, but recent state and local solicitations under this code actually encompass much broader food procurement — shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, bread, and fluid milk for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service. The issuing bodies are county governments, state purchasing departments, and school districts acquiring food for established programs such as the National School Lunch Program, senior meal delivery, and departmental cafeterias. Vendors are expected to meet food safety standards including HACCP plan compliance, provide domestic sourcing where required, deliver within tight temperature and shelf-life windows, and often carry general liability insurance of $500,000 or more.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, where Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services (IFB PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia solicited bids on food, supplies, and kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for school meal programs (IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026). The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain products, low-sodium formulations, and items without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract awards made approximately 60 days after bid opening and prices firm for 15 days with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices. Delivery requirements are stringent — F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery, temperature control maintenance (33°F to 40°F for milk), and stock rotation by sell-by date.
