UNSPSC 50453900: Frozen organic gourds

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

UNSPSC 50453900 Frozen organic gourds is a Class code that describes shelf-stable and refrigerated food products for institutional procurement, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show a much broader scope than frozen gourds alone — including canned proteins, dairy products, fresh and frozen meats, poultry, seafood, produce, grains, bread, milk, and paper and cleaning supplies for food service operations. State and local buyers under this code span county purchasing offices, state procurement agencies, and school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education have all posted active opportunities in the past six months, signaling that the code captures general institutional food procurement across multiple jurisdictional types.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an IWQ (informal written quote) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables with a response deadline of October 19, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB with a June 22, 2026 due date; and the Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid for 300+ food items plus non-food and paper supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program with bids due June 8, 2026. The Early County solicitation emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars, with milk deliveries requiring temperature maintenance and state documentation, a contract term running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, Buy American compliance, and HACCP plan requirements. All three opportunities indicate active institutional food procurement demand across counties, states, and school districts in Georgia during 2026.
