UNSPSC 50453413: Frozen organic karela cucumbers

The variety of organic cucumbers known as organic karela cucumbers that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453413 Frozen organic karela cucumbers is a Commodity code that describes a single perishable produce item, yet the recent state and local opportunities record show no direct procurement activity for frozen karela cucumbers. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader school nutrition and institutional food service procurement by state and county education agencies, centered on fresh produce, frozen and grocery items, eggs, and general food supply contracts that serve school lunch and breakfast programs. The work solicited spans produce distribution contracts, main-line food service supply arrangements, and line-item grocery bidding that encompasses dozens of fresh and frozen produce categories alongside dairy, proteins, and prepared foods. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District—alongside state education procurement offices and regional buying cooperatives like the GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple districts across Georgia. The mix reflects typical school nutrition procurement patterns: individual district RFPs and IFBs for annual school year contracts (July 1 through June 30), multi-district cooperative agreements, and state-level food supply solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with a notable outlier in Texas. Georgia dominates with six recent opportunities from February through June 2026: the State of Georgia's food supplies bid (due June 22, 2026), Early County Schools' line-by-line food and non-food bid (due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce annual contract (due April 23, 2026), and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) and separate food supply and distribution RFP (due February 18, 2026). Missouri appears once: Rockwood R-VI School District's child nutrition grocery items bid for 2026–27 (due April 29, 2026). Texas appears once: Dallas Independent School District's various food products RFP for the 2026–2027 school year (due April 2, 2026). Estimated spending signals range from $1.1 million to $9 million annually per contract; the Douglas County food distribution alone estimates approximately $9 million annually. The code shows no recent relevant activity for the frozen karela cucumber product itself, indicating either minimal or no direct state and local procurement demand for this specific item.
