UNSPSC 50453400: Frozen organic cucumbers

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

UNSPSC 50453400 Frozen organic cucumbers is a Class code that does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement channels use this code to solicit comprehensive food service contracts spanning fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, meats, grains, and non-food supplies for school nutrition programs and state operations — not frozen organic cucumbers specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia for fresh produce and general food supplies), with school nutrition programs driving the majority of tagged activity. The scope includes line-item procurement of 300+ food products meeting USDA standards, HACCP compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery to multiple school sites; vendors must maintain general liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum), comply with Buy American provisions, and meet E-Verify and debarment certification requirements. Contract periods run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, and pricing must remain firm for the initial term with escalation or adjustment tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index documentation.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Missouri. The State of Georgia issued an IFB for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026) and a general food supplies solicitation (due June 22, 2026); Early County Board of Education sought line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs across three schools (due June 8, 2026); City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items to ten schools (due May 15, 2026); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited bids for 72 fresh produce line items across 60 schools under an annual contract (due April 23, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri posted an electronic bid for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFPs for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts (estimated $4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, due March 4, 2026) and for main-line food supply and distribution serving 25,500 students at an estimated $9 million annually (due February 18, 2026). Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). The code shows concentrated recent activity in Georgia school districts and moderate activity in Missouri and Texas, with no identified set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises in the posted solicitations.
