UNSPSC 50452610: Frozen organic snowball cauliflowers

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic snowball cauliflowers that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452610 Frozen organic snowball cauliflowers, a Commodity code, covers frozen specialty vegetables procured by state and local jurisdictions for food-service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show activity primarily in broader fresh and shelf-stable food aggregations rather than this specific product line. State and local governments buy against this code chiefly through county and school district procurement offices supporting nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food-service operations. The issuing bodies in recent activity include county commissioners' purchasing divisions (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state-level food procurement on behalf of multiple agencies (State of Georgia), and independent school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program sourcing (Early County Board of Education). Scope of work spans food and non-food items for institutional kitchens—shelf-stable proteins, grains, condiments, produce, dairy, and supporting food-service supplies—procured through IWQs (informal written quotes), RFBs (request for bids), and line-item competitive bidding with firm pricing and strict delivery windows.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, with Gwinnett County posting an informal quote request in October 2026 (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services, Early County Board of Education issuing a line-by-line food bid for school meals in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items and fluid milk, and the State of Georgia posting a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with scope and terms specified in an attached solicitation document. Delivery requirements across these opportunities are stringent—typically Monday through Friday daytime windows, F.O.B. destination with inside delivery, 72-hour turnaround where possible, and temperature-controlled handling for perishables. Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on unit-price comparison, with vendors required to carry liability insurance, maintain HACCP certification or food-safety documentation, comply with Buy American provisions and E-Verify, provide food-recall procedures, and hold a minimum of three references for similar contracts.
