UNSPSC 50453705: Frozen organic sirio fennel

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

UNSPSC 50453705 Frozen organic sirio fennel is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty food products, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to broader food-supply categories than frozen fennel alone. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily counties, school districts, and state departments purchasing shelf-stable and fresh food items for senior services, nutrition programs, and institutional food service. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education have all posted opportunities in the recent window, with purchasing typically spanning multiple line items and distributed across multiple vendors rather than consolidated to a single supplier. The work includes procurement of canned proteins, vegetables, grains, condiments, dairy products, and other kitchen goods for senior centers and school lunch and breakfast programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quotes) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026, requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville by December 7, 2026 and pricing evaluated per unit of measure with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; the State of Georgia posted a broader bid on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date; and the Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering over 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies for school meal programs with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations, delivery Monday through Friday, and contract terms running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options.
