UNSPSC 50452900: Frozen organic chicories

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

UNSPSC 50452900 Frozen organic chicories is a Class code that in practice encompasses the purchase of shelf-stable and fresh food products for state and local institutional food service, including school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services centers, and county food assistance operations. State and local governments procure this code's scope broadly — recent solicitations span canned vegetables, proteins, dairy products, grains, condiments, and fresh produce alongside frozen items — reflecting how procurement offices tag diverse food-service commodities under single UNSPSC families rather than splitting by individual product type. The issuing bodies are county purchasing offices, state departments, and school district boards of education, with school nutrition programs and county senior services representing the primary end users.

Activity concentrates in Georgia.
