UNSPSC 50453605: Frozen organic grumolo verde endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic grumolo verde endives that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453605 Frozen organic grumolo verde endives is a Commodity code that captures state and local purchasing of specialty produce items, though recent solicitation activity shows the code is being applied primarily to broader food-service procurement rather than this specific frozen vegetable line item. State and local governments buying under this code range across county social-services departments, state purchasing offices, and school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners recently solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for its Department of Community Services, including canned proteins, grains, and vegetables; Early County Board of Education solicited 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. The State of Georgia also posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid in May 2026. Current buying emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives, and compliance with USDA specifications for school nutrition programs. Delivery speed and temperature control are material — school-district contracts specify 33F to 40F maintenance for milk and Monday-through-Friday delivery windows between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., while Gwinnett County requires delivery within 72 hours of order receipt where possible.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia, with three recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 RFQ for food items closed October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville; award was to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a unit-price basis with potential line-item splits. Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid closed June 8, 2026, covering a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend up to three months and possibility of renewal for additional one-year terms, requiring vendors to maintain $500,000 general liability insurance and comply with Buy American provisions and E-Verify requirements. The State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) details were contained in an attached document with a June 22, 2026 response deadline. Recent opportunities show school districts and counties are the primary issuing bodies, with pricing firm for 15 days post-award and subject to escalation or de-escalation on a six-month basis supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
