UNSPSC 50455811: Frozen organic sea kale

The variety of organic sea vegetables known as organic sea kale that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455811 Frozen organic sea kale is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code appears in procurement records primarily as part of broader food-service solicitations for school nutrition programs and state food supplies, where frozen organic sea kale may be listed as one line item among hundreds of grocery, produce, and protein offerings. State and local governments buy frozen produce and organic vegetables through school nutrition contracts, state department food procurement, and centralized food-service distribution arrangements, but the activity tagged to this specific code does not isolate frozen organic sea kale as a standalone procurement focus or reflect demand distinctive enough to characterize a market pattern.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and cooperative buying vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). The geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Missouri, with one opportunity from Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid posted May 11, 2026, with response due June 8, 2026 (IFB encompassing 300+ food line items and 60 non-food items for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs); the State of Georgia's Fresh Produce IFB #4 posted April 20, 2026, with response due May 27, 2026; City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB posted April 16, 2026, with response due May 15, 2026; and Douglas County School System's Fresh Produce and Eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative posted February 4, 2026, with response due March 4, 2026, estimated at $4.4 million annually for Area One. The code shows activity but does not isolate frozen organic sea kale demand as a distinct procurement signal.
