UNSPSC 50453707: Frozen organic tardo fennel

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

UNSPSC 50453707 Frozen organic tardo fennel, a Commodity code, nominally describes a specialized produce item, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show little activity aligned with that specific product. Instead, the few opportunities posted show state and local governments buying broad food-supply categories — shelf-stable groceries, kitchen products, and school meal program ingredients — through informal quotes and line-item bids. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, for example, solicited approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food products (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, soups, and canned vegetables) for senior services delivery in October 2026, while Early County Board of Education sought 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The State of Georgia also posted for food, supplies, and other kitchen products in May 2026. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County), state agencies (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts and county human-services departments driving recent activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County, Early County, and the state procurement office have posted opportunities between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for senior-services food delivery closed October 19, 2026, with F.O.B. Destination delivery required to Lawrenceville within 72 hours of order receipt when possible and all items received by December 7, 2026. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-item bid for school meal program food and supplies, with questions due May 29, 2026 and bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain bread meeting USDA 2024 specifications, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with the contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code shows limited recent activity specifically for frozen organic fennel or comparable specialty produce; vendors entering this code should verify whether local procurement offices are tagging general food-supply opportunities under a narrower commodity classification.
