UNSPSC 50453257: Frozen organic showcase corn

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

UNSPSC 50453257 Frozen organic showcase corn, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The source shows no recent solicitations specifically requesting frozen organic showcase corn; instead, the opportunities posted under this code encompass broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations, including fresh produce, frozen foods and grocery items, dairy products, meats, prepared entrees, and supplies — categories unrelated to a single specialty frozen commodity. State and local governments are buying school meal components and general food service inventories through this code, not a niche frozen vegetable item. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state agencies (State of Georgia), with one large independent school district in Texas (Dallas Independent School District). The code shows no repeat solicitations for frozen organic corn specifically, suggesting that if the code assignment is correct, activity under it is sparse or the code is misaligned with actual procurement taxonomy.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) encompassing products meeting whole-grain and low-sodium specifications delivered to ten schools; the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items bid (IFB, due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items across snacks, produce, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending. School nutrition programs consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, E-Verify authorization, and food recall procedures; pricing is typically firm for the contract period with escalation allowed only on documented cost increases.
