UNSPSC 50453702: Frozen organic fino fennel

The variety of organic fennel known as organic fino fennel that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453702 Frozen organic fino fennel is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category within institutional food procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show little direct demand for this specific item. The code sits within broader food-service sourcing activity where state and local procurement offices, school districts, and county governments purchase shelf-stable and fresh food products in bulk for cafeterias, senior-services programs, and institutional feeding operations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect general food procurement rather than specific fennel products — Gwinnett County sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items including peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables for senior services; the State of Georgia posted a broad food-supplies RFQ in May 2026; and Early County Board of Education solicited 300+ food items and 60 non-food products for school meal programs across three schools. None of these opportunities explicitly names fennel, frozen or otherwise, suggesting the code may be a taxonomic catch-all for ingredient-level food items rather than a driver of active procurement.

The issuing-body mix includes county governments, state agencies, and school districts. Georgia accounts for all three named recent opportunities — Gwinnett County (IWQ RFQ, due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (food-supplies RFQ, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (line-by-line food bid, due June 8, 2026). The Early County schools contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension options. Gwinnett County requires delivery within 72 hours of order receipt when possible and all items received by December 7, 2026. School and county food procurement emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; Early County also requires HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, and $500,000 general liability insurance from vendors. The code shows minimal specific activity and may warrant watch-only status unless your firm holds existing supplier relationships in institutional food distribution.
