UNSPSC 50452911 Frozen organic wallone freisee weschelkopf chicory is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and frozen food products procured by state and local public bodies for institutional food service and community assistance programs. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through counties, school districts, and state departments soliciting bulk food purchases — including shelf-stable proteins, grains, produce, dairy, and specialty items — for cafeteria operations, senior services, and nutrition assistance. Purchasing vehicles include informal written quotes (IWQ), line-item competitive bids, and formal RFQ processes, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit-of-measure basis. Vendors must meet delivery, labeling, and compliance standards including E-Verify verification, debarment checks on awards exceeding $25,000, HACCP certification, general liability insurance, and adherence to Buy American provisions where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County's Department of Community Services posted an IWQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and vegetables) due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia issued a broader bid on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response deadline; and Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items and non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, due June 8, 2026, with contract performance through June 30, 2027 and optional renewals. School district solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives, with firm pricing for 15 days from award and escalation requests considered on a six-month basis supported by USDA or CPI data.
