UNSPSC 50453603: Frozen organic catalogna di galatina endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic catalogna di galatina endives that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453603 Frozen organic catalogna di galatina endives is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little relevance to its nominal scope. The three recent solicitations — from Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education — are broad food procurement for community services, general state inventory, and school meal programs respectively, spanning shelf-stable packaged goods, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, and non-food kitchen supplies rather than the specific frozen endive product the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are a county government purchasing office, a state agency, and a school district, representing the typical mix of jurisdictions buying food staples through informal quotes and line-item bids.

All three recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 is an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items with a response deadline of October 19, 2026 and delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) requests bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products with detailed scope in an attached document; response date was June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006), due June 8, 2026, covers 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs across three schools for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole grains, and low-sodium formulations. The mismatch between the code's specific endive focus and the actual breadth of these solicitations suggests the code may be misapplied to general food procurement or that state and local systems tag broad food categories under narrow commodity codes.
