UNSPSC 50452702: Frozen organic celeriac

The variety of organic celery known as organic celeriac that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452702 Frozen organic celeriac is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable and refrigerated food products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, senior nutrition programs, and school meal service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of bulk food items including proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and prepared components — the scope extends well beyond the narrow code name to encompass the full range of consumables required to operate school cafeterias, county senior centers, and state institutional kitchens. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state agencies (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts and county nutrition or community services departments as the primary repeat buyers. The work involves competitive bidding on line-item food catalogs, delivery and temperature control for perishables, compliance with USDA nutrition and whole-grain standards, food safety documentation (HACCP plans, recall procedures, biosecurity policies), and general liability insurance requirements of $500,000 or higher.

Georgia shows the strongest recent activity on this code, with three separate opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 (due June 8) for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and cleaning supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, with F.O.B. Destination delivery to Lawrenceville by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with scope and pricing contained in attached documentation. Award decisions favor the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; school districts explicitly permit line-item awards and allow piggybacking by other districts on identical terms.
