UNSPSC 50452301: Frozen organic black cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50452301 Frozen organic black cabbages is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are sourcing frozen produce and related food items for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state agency operations. The recent opportunities in the source do not reflect procurement activity specifically targeting frozen organic black cabbages as a discrete line item; instead, they show broader food-service solicitations where frozen vegetables and produce are components within larger multi-item contracts. School districts and state agencies are the primary buyers, issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive food-service supply agreements that encompass produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and non-food items to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. Vendors must meet HACCP plan requirements, carry general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on the issuer), comply with Buy American provisions, maintain E-Verify authorization, and provide food recall procedures and biosecurity policies. Pricing must be firm for the contract term, with price adjustments permitted only when supported by third-party market data (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation), and delivery is typically required Monday through Friday between early morning and early afternoon hours to multiple school sites with all transportation costs included in bid pricing.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with activity also present in Texas and across multiple state agencies. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued two large RFPs in January and February 2026—one for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) and a second for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative covering approximately $5.5 million in combined spending across two geographic areas (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 for fresh produce spanning 72 line items with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for select items (due April 23, 2026). City Schools of Decatur in Georgia solicited frozen foods and grocery items for ten school sites (IFB due May 15, 2026), while Early County Board of Education in Georgia requested line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products (due June 8, 2026). Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued a solicitation for over 900 line-item grocery items supporting approximately 6,900 daily lunch and 900 breakfast participants (due April 29, 2026). Dallas Independent School District in Texas requested various food products not available through main commodity bids, organized into individual line items and two designated lots (RFP due April 2, 2026). The State of Georgia posted two broader food-supply solicitations covering food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) and fresh produce (IFB #4, due May 27, 2026).
