UNSPSC 50455804: Frozen organic haricot vert de mer

The variety of organic sea vegetables known as organic haricot vert de mer that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455804 Frozen organic haricot vert de mer is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific frozen vegetable product, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that narrow scope. The recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass broad food service procurement—including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, eggs, meats, dairy, and other nutritional products—rather than a single frozen vegetable line item. State and local buyers issuing under this code are primarily independent school districts and school systems purchasing for child nutrition programs, alongside occasional state-level and municipal food service operations. The work solicited spans school lunch and breakfast program support, with vendors expected to meet USDA compliance, food safety standards (including HACCP plans and food recall procedures), Buy American provisions, and stringent nutritional specifications such as whole-grain requirements, low-sodium formulations, and zero trans-fat standards. Delivery schedules typically mandate Monday-through-Friday service windows to multiple school sites, with pricing held firm for full contract periods and temperature-controlled requirements for frozen and refrigerated items.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas dominate recent activity under this code. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies for three schools; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in St. Louis County (grocery items, electronic bid due April 29, 2026); the City Schools of Decatur, Georgia (IFB for frozen foods and grocery items, sealed bids due May 15, 2026); the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (RFP for fresh produce, sealed bids due April 23, 2026); the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across two Georgia regions, proposals due March 4, 2026, with estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two); and Dallas Independent School District (RFP for various food products, due April 2, 2026). The code shows no activity supporting procurement of frozen organic haricot vert de mer specifically, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns.
