UNSPSC 50452803: Frozen organic lucullus chard

The variety of organic chard known as organic lucullus chard that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50452803 Frozen organic lucullus chard is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of frozen vegetables and related shelf-stable produce for institutional food service, though recent activity shows minimal direct solicitation for this specific frozen organic item. Instead, the code appears in broader institutional food procurement — counties, school districts, and state agencies solicit comprehensive food packages that include frozen and fresh vegetables as line items within larger meal-service and pantry-supply contracts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and school districts like Early County Board of Education are the primary issuing bodies, with food sourcing driven by institutional meal programs (senior services, school breakfast and lunch) and emergency assistance initiatives. Vendors responding to opportunities under or near this code typically supply through food-service distributors, negotiate on a line-item basis, and compete on unit pricing, compliance with domestic sourcing preferences, and cold-chain logistics.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, where Gwinnett County (October 2026 RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (May 2026 food and kitchen products bid, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (May 2026 IFB for food vendors supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, due June 8, 2026) have posted recent solicitations. The Early County schools bid, spanning 300+ food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and strict cold-chain management, represents the most detailed recent opportunity and illustrates how this Commodity code sits within larger institutional food-service contracting. Award timelines typically run 60 days post-bid opening, with pricing firm for 15 days and subject to escalation clauses indexed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
