UNSPSC 50455400: Frozen organic peas

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

UNSPSC 50455400 Frozen organic peas, a Class code, represents a narrow commodity line within school nutrition and institutional food service procurement. State and local governments use this code to procure frozen vegetable products, including organic peas specifically, for school meal programs, institutional cafeterias, and food service operations. The actual solicitations under this code show schools and districts buying frozen and fresh produce as part of broader food service contracts rather than frozen organic peas in isolation; the code appears in procurement portfolios alongside fresh produce, grains, dairy, meats, and prepared foods serving daily meal operations across student populations.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county school systems. The most active buyers in recent opportunities include the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), with additional activity from state agencies like the State of Georgia. Georgia accounts for the heaviest recent concentration of solicitations, with comparable activity in Texas and Missouri.
