UNSPSC 50453005: Frozen organic dwarf bok choy

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic dwarf bok choy that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453005 Frozen organic dwarf bok choy (Commodity) represents a niche produce item within the school food service procurement landscape, though state and local solicitations under this code show limited direct activity. Recent opportunities across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas reveal that state and local governments procure frozen and fresh produce primarily through broad-based food service contracts that specify individual line items rather than targeting frozen organic dwarf bok choy as a standalone commodity. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with procurement offices from independent school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Rockwood R-VI, City Schools of Decatur, Dallas Independent School District, and Early County Board of Education) and state agencies (State of Georgia) soliciting comprehensive food supply contracts that encompass vegetables, frozen items, fresh produce, and ancillary food service supplies. These districts serve 6,900 to 25,500 students and demand products meeting USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, low-sodium formulations, and delivery within strict temperature and time windows (typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday).

Recent procurements show substantial activity concentrated in Georgia and Missouri. The Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs (issued February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covers 72 line items across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million for two geographic areas. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 (due April 23, 2026) for 72 fresh produce items with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for select items. Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicited over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026) serving 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line food bids spanning 300+ items (due June 8, 2026) with firm pricing for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period. All solicitations require sealed-bid or RFP submission, firm pricing for the full contract term, compliance with insurance and debarment verification, and delivery to multiple school sites. While frozen organic dwarf bok choy is not prominently named in recent solicitation summaries, vendors supplying specialty or organic frozen vegetables may access these opportunities through comprehensive food service contracts that allow line-item specification and multi-vendor awards.
