UNSPSC 50453242: Frozen organic nk-199 corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic nk-199 corn that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453242 Frozen organic nk-199 corn is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single frozen corn product line, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not request frozen corn specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad school nutrition procurement across multiple food categories — fresh produce, eggs, dairy, meats, frozen and grocery items, and specialty products — as part of annual child nutrition program contracts. School districts and state education agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with recent RFPs and IFBs posted by Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood School District Child Nutrition Services (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). The scope of work across these opportunities encompasses line-item bids for hundreds of food and non-food items per contract, with delivery to individual school sites, compliance with USDA standards and Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, and firm pricing for multi-year terms with limited escalation provisions tied to documented market data.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, with Georgia showing the heaviest recent volume across multiple school systems and the state education department. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products for three schools with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (IFB, due May 15, 2026) for ten school sites with July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 term and up to four renewal options; Rockwood School District's grocery items procurement (NUTRIKIDS electronic submission, due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items across multiple categories for approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast daily participants; and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP serving 30 school districts (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The code shows substantial mismatch with its nominal scope — frozen organic corn does not appear in any of the recent solicitations, suggesting either cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is routinely misapplied to broader school nutrition supply categories.
