UNSPSC 50453600: Frozen organic endives

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

UNSPSC 50453600 Frozen organic endives, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The nine most recent opportunities posted between February and May 2026 consistently solicit broad food service categories—fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries, eggs, main-line food distribution, and miscellaneous food products for school nutrition programs and state operations—rather than the narrow commodity of frozen organic endives specifically. The scope of work under this code as reflected in current solicitations encompasses comprehensive food-service procurement to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and state institutional operations, including fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry, dairy, grains, condiments, prepared entrees, and related food-service supplies and equipment. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies: Georgia school districts (Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, City Schools of Decatur), Texas school districts (Dallas Independent School District), Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI School District), and state purchasing offices in Georgia. Repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations include Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia itself, indicating sustained demand from public education and state operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 IFB for approximately 300 food items supporting school meal programs; the City Schools of Decatur's May 15, 2026 IFB for frozen foods and grocery items across ten school sites; the Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (Area One and Area Two combined); the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's April 23, 2026 IFB for 72 fresh produce line items; the Rockwood R-VI School District's April 29, 2026 NUTRIKIDS-based bid for over 900 grocery line items; and the Dallas Independent School District's April 2, 2026 RFP for miscellaneous food products not available through main commodity bids. Most solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, low-sodium and whole-grain preferences, firm pricing over 12-month contract periods, and consolidated delivery to central warehouses or school sites. The code shows no distinct activity actually tied to frozen organic endives as a discrete procurement line.
