UNSPSC 50455701: Frozen organic acme rutabagas

The variety of organic rutabagas known as organic acme rutabagas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455701 Frozen organic acme rutabagas is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing broad food-service supplies and meal-program provisioning rather than a single frozen vegetable product. Recent opportunities show buyers seeking shelf-stable packaged foods (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, canned vegetables), fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, produce, grains, bread products meeting USDA specifications, and fluid milk to support senior services programs, institutional cafeterias, and school meal programs. The issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), reflecting a mix of social-services and education-sector purchasers. Vendors typically bid line-by-line across 30–300+ individual food items and must meet compliance requirements including HACCP plans, domestic sourcing preferences where applicable, food recall procedures, E-Verify verification, general liability insurance, and adherence to Buy American provisions on school contracts.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services with a response date of October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a broader IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and paper supplies to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period beginning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Award in school contracts is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing typically evaluated per unit of measure and firm for 15 days from award, with escalation requests thereafter on a six-month basis supported by USDA or CPI documentation.
