UNSPSC 50452800: Frozen organic chards

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

UNSPSC 50452800 Frozen organic chards (Class) does not reflect the active state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent solicitations explicitly posted to this code actually seek frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery items, and comprehensive food service distribution across school nutrition programs, institutional food services, and state operations — a scope substantially broader than the code's nominal category. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeat buyers including the Douglas County School System and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, alongside independent school districts in Dallas and Decatur, Georgia, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri. State-level purchasing also appears, with Georgia soliciting both fresh produce and general food supplies. The work being solicited ranges from line-item produce and frozen-food bids serving individual school sites to comprehensive food-supply-and-distribution contracts valued at approximately $9 million annually, with vendors expected to maintain HACCP plans, comply with Buy American and USDA provisions, meet food safety certifications, and deliver to multiple locations on fixed schedules.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with Georgia showing the highest recent volume (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, and State of Georgia all posting between February and May 2026). Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts in two geographic areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026); the Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for grocery items spanning over 900 line items for the 2026–27 school year (due April 29, 2026 via electronic submission through NUTRIKIDS); the Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not covered by main commercial bids, with contract performance from May 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals (due April 2, 2026); and the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items across ten school sites with contract start July 1, 2026 (due May 15, 2026). All solicitations emphasize firm pricing, inclusive delivery charges, minimum insurance coverage ($1 million general liability is standard), and compliance with federal work authorization and debarment certifications; no set-asides are specified in the reviewed opportunities.
