UNSPSC 50452503: Frozen organic berlicum carrots

The variety of organic carrots known as organic berlicum carrots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452503 Frozen organic berlicum carrots is a Commodity-level code that reflects state and local government procurement of specialty frozen vegetable items, specifically organic frozen carrots, for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local jurisdictions buy frozen and fresh produce—along with broader grocery and food service supplies—primarily to support school nutrition programs serving student meal participation. The code's nominal scope (frozen organic berlicum carrots) does not align closely with the actual work being solicited under it; the recent opportunities reflect procurement of mixed fresh and frozen produce, complete food supply distribution, and comprehensive grocery line items across dozens of product categories rather than a single frozen carrot product. School districts emerge as the dominant issuing bodies, including Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State-level agencies also solicit under the code, including the State of Georgia for fresh produce and general food supplies.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's IFB for line-by-line food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, posted May 11, 2026 with a June 8, 2026 response date, covering approximately 300+ food items with delivery six days a week to three schools; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026-2027 school year, posted April 16, 2026 with response due May 15, 2026, requiring HACCP plans and 24/7 food recall accessibility; Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia, posted February 4, 2026 with response due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not covered by main commodity bids, posted February 22, 2026 with response due April 2, 2026. School district contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, firm pricing for 12 months, deliveries scheduled Monday through Friday within narrow time windows, and requirements for general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, E-Verify compliance, HACCP plans, and Buy American provisions.
