UNSPSC 50453008: Frozen organic kasumi bok choy

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic kasumi that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453008 Frozen organic kasumi bok choy is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce items state and local governments purchase for institutional food service, though recent opportunities indicate the code sees minimal direct activity tied to this specific product line. State and local procurement under produce-related codes typically involves frozen and fresh vegetables, fruits, and specialty produce for school nutrition programs, senior services, county food assistance, and institutional dining across multiple departments. The issuing bodies span school districts, county boards of commissioners, state departments, and special-purpose districts managing federal nutrition programs like the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Procurement vehicles range from informal written quotes (IWQs) for smaller county buys to formal line-by-line competitive bids for multi-year food service contracts.

Recent documented activity shows Georgia as the primary jurisdiction, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed food items (shelf-stable products including canned vegetables, rice, pasta, and sauces) due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center, and Early County Board of Education issuing a competitive line-by-line food bid on June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options. The State of Georgia also posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation on May 15, 2026 due June 22, 2026. The code itself shows little direct recent sourcing for frozen organic kasumi bok choy specifically; the broader produce and food-service opportunities in Georgia suggest the code may be underutilized or mistagged relative to actual purchasing patterns for this specialty item.
