UNSPSC 50455300: Frozen organic peanuts

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

UNSPSC 50455300 Frozen organic peanuts is a Class code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not reflect the actual buying patterns documented in the opportunities posted under this code. The recent solicitations instead show school districts and state agencies procuring comprehensive food service products—fresh produce, eggs, frozen foods, groceries, dairy, meats, and specialty items—for child nutrition programs and institutional food services. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia), with one cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). These entities are soliciting through RFPs and IFBs with response dates ranging from late February through late June 2026.

The geographic concentration of recent activity is heavily weighted to Georgia (State of Georgia, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and includes Texas (Dallas Independent School District) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure approximately $9 million), the same district's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for Fresh Produce and Eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (RFP, due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spending approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid for National School Lunch and Breakfast Program items (line-by-line bid, due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's IFB for Frozen Foods and Grocery items (IFB, due May 15, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for Various Food Products (RFP, due April 2, 2026). The code shows significant recent activity but appears misaligned with its nominal scope of frozen organic peanuts specifically.
