UNSPSC 50452808: Frozen organic white king chard

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

UNSPSC 50452808 Frozen organic white king chard (Commodity) is a specialty produce line item within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments buy frozen greens—primarily for child nutrition programs serving breakfast and lunch—under this code as part of broader fresh and frozen produce bids. The recent opportunities show frozen and fresh produce integrated into district-wide solicitations where multiple vegetable and fruit items are bid together; frozen chard appears as a line item within those broader commodity groups rather than as a standalone procurement. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems, with occasional state-level institutional food service operations. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) have all posted produce procurement notices in the past four months, indicating consistent district-level demand across school nutrition programs tied to the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meal cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with outlying solicitations in Texas. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions, with approximately $4.4 million estimated annual spending in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two; responses were due March 4, 2026. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under Bid 2634 on March 22, 2026, with sealed bids due April 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET, covering 72 fresh produce line items with annual quantities up to 21,125 cases for select items and delivery to 60 school sites. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP on February 22, 2026, for various food products (due April 2, 2026) with awards made to multiple suppliers on a line-item basis. All recent solicitations require firm pricing for the full contract year (typically July 1 through June 30), include HACCP and food safety compliance, mandate Buy American provisions, and award to lowest responsive bidder; none identified frozen organic chard as a standalone bid line in publicly available summary data, though the code suggests it would appear as a line item within fresh or frozen produce sections of school nutrition RFPs.
