UNSPSC 50454107: Frozen organic cipolinos

The variety of organic herbs known as organic cipolinos that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454107 Frozen organic cipolinos (Commodity) covers specialty frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service supply contracts for institutional facilities including schools, state-supported living centers, hospitals, and correctional institutions. The code sees activity across state departments of health and human services, school districts, and criminal justice agencies, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct solicitation specifically for frozen cipolinos as a line item; instead, the code appears embedded within larger multi-category food and consumable RFPs and IFBs where frozen specialty vegetables are one component among dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods. Issuing bodies span state health commissions, state criminal justice departments, county school systems, and independent school districts, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts appearing across the opportunity set. Vendors responding to these solicitations typically bid on firm, fixed unit pricing across product categories, must meet USDA grade and temperature specifications for frozen items (generally 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below with minimum three-month shelf life), and deliver on FOB Destination terms to multiple distribution points or school locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with Texas showing the most volume through HHSC statewide supplemental food procurements (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449), TDCJ cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF with response due May 4, 2026), and state supported living center food supply (IFB HHS0017449 with response due July 13, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia solicited Master Grocery K-12 supply (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools plus distribution centers; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri sought grocery items covering over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year (response due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County School System in Georgia issued an RFP for food supply and distribution services (RFP 26-003, response due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. These opportunities treat frozen specialty foods as commodity-level line items within larger school nutrition and institutional food service contracts rather than standalone procurements, with pricing typically keyed to documented supplier costs plus fixed fees or firm fixed rates held constant across contract periods.
