UNSPSC 50453100: Frozen organic chives

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

UNSPSC 50453100 Frozen organic chives is a Class code that describes shelf-stable and refrigerated food products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations, including school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and general subsistence supply. State and local buyers under this code solicit food items through informal written quotes (IWQ), competitive line-by-line bids, and formal solicitations; the scope spans fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, and related kitchen supplies. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state agencies, and school district boards of education. The code sees activity across Georgia's county and state procurement systems, with representative recent solicitations from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education.

Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026, illustrates routine subsistence procurement by county service departments. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies across three schools supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026, reflects school nutrition procurement under the code. The State of Georgia issued a May 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response deadline. All three opportunities target lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder award, require new and properly labeled products delivered in undamaged condition, and impose domestic sourcing or Buy American compliance; school district contracts typically carry firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation requests permitted on a six-month basis when supported by USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation.
