UNSPSC 50453901: Frozen organic angled loofah

The variety of organic gourds known as organic angled loofah that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50453901 Frozen organic angled loofah is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen organic angled loofahs or any loofah products. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code are school nutrition, food supply, and grocery procurement solicitations across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, grains, proteins, and food service supplies for school districts and state agencies. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurements it carries suggests this code either contains a miscategorization in the state and local procurement systems or is being used as a catch-all for broader food service commodity groups rather than the specific product it nominally describes.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, including the Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District, alongside state agencies in Georgia. Recent opportunities include Early County Schools' line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items and non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program; Rockwood R-VI's grocery items solicitation (NUTRIKIDS electronic bid, April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items; the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated annual value $5.5 million across 30 districts); and Dallas ISD's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026) with spice and ice cream lots. The geographic spread centers on Georgia and extends to Missouri and Texas. Given the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity, firms should verify the accuracy of this code tag before investing in pursuit; the recent opportunities appear more accurately categorized under broader food and nutrition service codes rather than a specialty frozen loofah commodity.
