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, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a narrow frozen-vegetable product, but state and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing broad food-service baskets for institutional meal programs, emergency assistance, and general procurement rather than frozen endives specifically. Recent opportunities show governments buying shelf-stable pantry staples (canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups), fresh and frozen produce, dairy, bread products, and associated non-food kitchen supplies across school lunch programs, county senior services, and general state food procurement. The issuing bodies span state departments, county purchasing offices, and school district boards of education, reflecting the institutional-foodservice nature of the work.

Georgia dominates the recent activity, with three distinct opportunities posted between May and October 2026: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for senior services (due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia issuing a bid for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education posting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (bids due June 8, 2026). No recent opportunities in this dataset involve frozen organic endives specifically; the code's current procurement activity reflects broad commodity food service rather than the narrow product scope implied by its name.
