UNSPSC 50453614: Frozen organic witloof zoom endives

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

UNSPSC 50453614 Frozen organic witloof zoom endives is a Commodity code that captures specialty produce items, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of frozen endives specifically. Instead, the opportunities show purchasing of broad food baskets — shelf-stable packaged goods, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and bakery items — by county and school-district food service operations. The issuing bodies are operational government purchasers: county departments managing senior services and community programming, school districts running child nutrition programs under federal reimbursement, and state-level food procurement entities. The work involves competitive bid management for food supply contracts, typically line-item or case-quantity awards to responsive vendors meeting food safety, sourcing, and delivery standards.

Activity centers in Georgia, with recent opportunities from Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (October 2026 informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items delivered to senior services), the State of Georgia (May 2026 bid for food and kitchen supplies, scope and pricing in an attached document), and Early County Board of Education (May 2026 line-by-line bid for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products for school nutrition programs across three schools, bids due June 8, 2026). All three solicitations stress lowest-price award, compliance with delivery windows (typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday–Friday), food safety certifications, and domestic or Buy American sourcing where applicable. The code shows sparse, geographically narrow recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (frozen specialty endives) and the actual purchasing (broad food baskets for institutional meal service) suggests this Commodity code may not be the primary tagging vehicle for frozen produce procurement in state and local systems.
