UNSPSC 50453213: Frozen organic champ corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic champ corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453213 Frozen organic champ corn is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen vegetable products for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent state and local solicitations tracked under this code show that school districts and public agencies source frozen produce—particularly frozen vegetables and commodity staples—as part of line-item food bids that bundle frozen and fresh produce, meats, dairy, and miscellaneous food products. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (independent and county systems) and state agencies; school nutrition programs account for the majority of recent activity, with districts sourcing frozen produce as components of comprehensive National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program supply contracts. Vendors responding to these opportunities must comply with USDA Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, carry general liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $2,000,000), satisfy E-Verify requirements, provide food recall procedures, and meet USDA whole-grain and nutritional-value specifications when applicable. Pricing typically remains firm for 12 months, with adjustments permitted only on documented market movement (usually exceeding 3–5 percent thresholds) supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or third-party wholesale indices.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with secondary activity in Texas and across the broader Southeast. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) line-by-line food bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items including frozen vegetables, the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) requiring HACCP plans and 41-degree refrigeration, the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) grocery items solicitation (IFB, due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items across categories including vegetables and prepared items, the Douglas County School System fresh-produce-and-eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) serving 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas, and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) various food products RFP (due April 2, 2026) excluding items available through main commodity bids. The volume and frequency of school-district procurement under this commodity indicate steady demand tied to academic-year cycles (July 1 through June 30 contract periods), with multi-year renewal options common and award structures allowing line-item allocation across multiple vendors.
