UNSPSC 50454700: Frozen organic malanga

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

UNSPSC 50454700 Frozen organic malanga is a Class code that names a single produce commodity, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not involve frozen malanga specifically. Instead, the opportunities posted to this code reflect broader food procurement by school districts, county governments, and state agencies — shelf-stable pantry staples, institutional food service products, and National School Lunch Program supplies including proteins, grains, condiments, dairy, produce, and paper goods. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual buying suggests either a data-entry error in the issuing bodies' tagging or administrative use of the code as a catch-all for general food procurement rather than for specialized frozen tropical vegetables.

Issuing bodies include county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). Recent opportunities span Georgia, with Gwinnett County posting an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services delivery by December 7, 2026 due to funding constraints; Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid in May 2026 for National School Lunch and Breakfast Program food and non-food supplies across three schools for the July 2026–June 2027 contract year, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and USDA compliance; and the State of Georgia posted a broader food and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with scope details in an attached solicitation document. Award protocols follow lowest responsive and responsible bidder standards, with split awards permitted and incumbent vendors sometimes carried over.
