UNSPSC 50454705: Frozen organic islena malanga

The variety of organic malanga known as organic islena malanga that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454705 Frozen organic islena malanga is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen specialty produce items—specifically frozen malanga and similar tropical or ethnic vegetables—through school nutrition programs and facility food service operations. The recent opportunities block does not contain solicitations specifically requesting frozen organic islena malanga. The code appears to be tagged on broader fresh and frozen food procurements by school districts and state agencies, but the actual scope of recent activity under this narrow commodity code remains unclear. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) and the State of Georgia have posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items intended to support school lunch and breakfast programs, but none explicitly names malanga or this specific frozen item as a line item within their published solicitation summaries.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and other states currently solicit frozen and fresh food products through IFBs and RFPs, with Douglas County School System (Georgia) procuring fresh produce and eggs through a GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts (estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issuing an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026, and the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) seeking grocery items with over 900 line items due April 29, 2026. Responses due in the most recent cycle range from February through June 2026. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Missouri, and Texas as primary recent markets. This narrow commodity code shows minimal recent direct demand and may warrant monitoring for larger fresh and frozen produce opportunities where specialty items are itemized within broader school nutrition procurements.
