UNSPSC 50453612: Frozen organic sugarhat endives

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

UNSPSC 50453612 Frozen organic sugarhat endives is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce line item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little connection to the commodity's specific scope. The opportunities tagged with this code encompass broad food-service procurement across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs and state operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code are primarily 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 (Georgia). The work actually being solicited includes line-item food bids for child nutrition services, fresh-produce contracts, frozen-food procurement, and main-line food-distribution services, which diverges substantially from the narrowly named commodity.

The geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with activity also in Texas (Dallas ISD). Georgia shows the heaviest recent posting density, with multiple solicitations from the State of Georgia, school districts in Decatur and Savannah-Chatham County, and the Douglas County School System. Recent representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies to support the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs; the City Schools of Decatur's Invitation for Bid for Frozen Foods and Grocery items (IFB, due May 15, 2026) covering frozen and grocery products with whole-grain and low-sodium specifications; the Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items bid (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees; and the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 school districts. The code shows no recent opportunities specifically soliciting frozen organic sugarhat endives; the tagging appears to be a classification mismatch rather than accurate commodity-level coding.
