UNSPSC 50453000: Frozen organic chinese cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50453000 Frozen organic chinese cabbages is a Class code that nominally identifies frozen cruciferous vegetables, but recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the specific commodity name. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts and state agencies sourcing a broad range of food products for child nutrition and institutional food service programs, rather than specialized frozen organic produce. The Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid, for example, requests line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services solicitation encompasses over 900 line items including snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, grains, cereals, dairy, beverages, condiments, meats, and prepared entrees; and the Dallas Independent School District procurement seeks various food products including spice lots and ice cream lots not available through main commodity bids. Issuing bodies include state departments of education, independent school districts, and county school systems, with school nutrition programs as the dominant buyer category.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026; the Early County Board of Education's May 2026 RFP (PE55045NONST2027000000006) for food and non-food items due June 8, 2026 covering the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's March 2026 bid (BID2634) for 72 fresh produce items due April 23, 2026; the Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement (PE64810NONST2026000000047) through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas for fresh produce and eggs, estimated at $5.5 million annually, due March 4, 2026; and the Dallas Independent School District's February 2026 RFP (JC250079) for various food products due April 2, 2026. No recent opportunities specifically target frozen organic cabbages or similar single-commodity produce items; the code's recent activity reflects broader food-service purchasing under institutional nutrition programs rather than specialized frozen organic vegetable procurement.
