UNSPSC 50453009: Frozen organic nerva bok choy

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

UNSPSC 50453009 Frozen organic nerva bok choy is a Commodity code. The source names this specific product but the recent state and local opportunities do not reference frozen organic bok choy or frozen vegetables as distinct line items. The recent solicitations tagged under this code represent broader food service procurements—school nutrition programs, state food supply contracts, and child nutrition services—that source frozen and fresh produce alongside dozens of other food categories. The issuing bodies are school districts (Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia). The mix is heavily weighted toward public school systems supporting National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across multiple states.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and adjacent regions, with five of nine opportunities posted by Georgia school districts or the State of Georgia, one by Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and one by Dallas Independent School District in Texas. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items including frozen vegetables, meats, dairy, and produce; Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) covering 72 line items with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 school districts; and Dallas Independent School District's Various Food Products RFP (due April 2, 2026) seeking multiple suppliers for food items delivered to the Maria Luna Warehouse. School districts typically require sealed bids or RFP responses through electronic procurement portals (Bonfire, NUTRIKIDS), impose firm pricing for 12-month contract periods, mandate Buy American and HACCP compliance, require general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and award on a line-item or lot basis to lowest responsive bidders. No recent opportunities specifically name frozen organic bok choy or similar specialty frozen vegetables as standalone procurement targets within this code.
