UNSPSC 50453800: Frozen organic garlics

The type of organic vegetable known as organic garlics that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453800 Frozen organic garlics is a Class code that frames a narrow commodity within a broader food-procurement context; however, recent state and local opportunities show little direct activity under this specific frozen-garlic designation. The source contains nine recent school district and state agency food solicitations posted between January and May 2026, but none of them isolates frozen organic garlic as a line item or mentions it by name. The opportunities instead span comprehensive food-service categories—fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, dairy, eggs, and specialty products—that would theoretically encompass frozen garlic as a subordinate ingredient or ingredient component, yet the opportunities do not distinguish or emphasize this commodity. School nutrition programs, state agency food operations, and child nutrition services are the dominant issuing bodies pursuing food contracts during this period; state education agencies and their affiliated school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) initiate the majority of procurement activity. The State of Georgia has posted separate solicitations for fresh produce and food supplies, and the Douglas County School System has issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with Dallas, Texas also represented. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFQ due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products for school breakfast and lunch programs; the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) with over 900 line items; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce bid covering 72 items (due April 23, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026). The source does not surface frozen organic garlic as a distinct procurement focus or line item in any of these opportunities, suggesting that this code sits at a commodity level too granular to reliably predict state and local buying activity. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete within broader food-service and grocery categories rather than as a standalone frozen-garlic supplier.
