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, a Class code, does not reflect the state and local procurement activity captured in the recent-opportunities block. The source contains nine recent solicitations from Georgia, Missouri, and Texas school districts and state agencies, but none specifically target frozen organic chives or align with the nominal scope of this Class code. The opportunities instead span broad food-service procurement across institutional nutrition programs: the State of Georgia seeks food supplies and kitchen products generally; Early County Board of Education requests line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies for school meal programs; the City Schools of Decatur issues an IFB for frozen foods and groceries meeting whole-grain and low-sodium standards; Rockwood R-VI School District solicits bids on over 900 line items including snacks, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and prepared entrees; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System bids 72 fresh produce items; and Douglas County School System procures fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts through a cooperative purchasing vehicle with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and their nutrition-services departments, with state-level participation in Georgia and one broader state food-supply solicitation. Recent responses were due across a concentrated window from late February through late June 2026, with notice types including RFP, RFQ, and IFB.

The geographic concentration is heavily weighted to Georgia school districts, which account for the majority of posted opportunities, followed by activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) and Texas (Dallas ISD). The code shows no recent relevant activity: the posting dates and scope-of-work summaries from these opportunities do not support frozen organic chives as a targeted procurement line item or even as a component of broader institutional food-service bids. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing large-volume, multi-item institutional food supplies—including fresh produce, frozen foods, and bulk groceries meeting USDA standards and nutritional requirements—rather than specialty frozen organic items. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual buying activity suggests either miscoding in the source data or that frozen organic chives do not represent meaningful procurement activity within state and local government at present.
