UNSPSC 50453002: Frozen organic chinese flat-headed cabbage

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic chinese flat-headed cabbage that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453002 Frozen organic chinese flat-headed cabbage is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single frozen produce item, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it encompass broad food service procurement across frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs and state operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia and Missouri districts (Decatur City Schools, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System) soliciting across this code alongside state-level procurement by the State of Georgia for general food supplies and fresh produce. Dallas Independent School District in Texas rounds out the recent activity. The work being solicited reflects the practical scope of food service contracting: line-item bids for 300+ individual food products across produce, frozen items, dairy, meats, and specialty goods; fresh produce contracts specifying 72 individual items (apples, bananas, vegetables, citrus, leafy greens, eggs); and broader grocery and food supply arrangements. Vendors must meet stringent HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, product traceability, food recall procedures, and state-specific requirements such as Texas Legislative Bill #314 prohibitions on artificial colors and high-fructose corn syrup. Delivery windows are typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday with temperature-controlled delivery (41 degrees Fahrenheit or below for refrigerated products, zero degrees or lower for frozen items), and pricing commonly remains firm for full contract periods with escalation or adjustment permitted only on documented market conditions (USDA pricing or CPI data) or manufacturer increases exceeding set thresholds (typically 3–10%).

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with standout repeat buyers in Douglas County School System (two separate RFPs for fresh produce/eggs and food supply/distribution services with estimated combined annual spend near $10 million), Early County Board of Education (line-item grocery bid for 300+ products), and multiple Decatur and Savannah-Chatham solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Georgia's IFB for fresh produce (response deadline May 27, 2026); Early County Board of Education's line-item food bid (due June 8, 2026, covering meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce annual contract (sealed bids due April 23, 2026, for 72 items across 60 school sites); Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026, for 2026–2027 school year delivery); and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution services RFP (due February 18, 2026, estimated annual spend $9 million for 32,000 daily meals). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options extending up to five years, and all solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, whole-grain compliance, and multi-vendor awards on a line-item basis.
