UNSPSC 50456103: Frozen organic giant winter spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic giant winter spinach that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456103 Frozen organic giant winter spinach is a Commodity code representing a specialized produce item that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food service contracts. Recent activity shows that the code sits within much larger food procurement solicitations encompassing hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods rather than appearing as a standalone spinach-specific contract. School districts dominate the issuing bodies—Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District all posted nutrition solicitations in the first half of 2026—alongside state agencies such as the Georgia Department of Education purchasing fresh produce and frozen foods. State departments and large school districts are the primary buyers; repeat issuers include the State of Georgia and the Douglas County School System, which posted two major food service RFPs in early 2026 under a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative) spanning 30 participating districts.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. The State of Georgia issued multiple produce and frozen-food IFBs in May and April 2026. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covers 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively; the same district's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) budgeted approximately $9 million annually for 32 schools. Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri posted a grocery-items solicitation (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) seeking line-item bids on over 900 items, and Dallas ISD posted an RFP for various food products (posted February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026) emphasizing non-preferred-ingredients compliance and M/WBE participation. Frozen spinach would be one line item among dozens to hundreds in these contracts; standalone opportunities for this Commodity code do not appear in recent postings, indicating that suppliers should track broader school nutrition and institutional food RFPs and IFBs rather than expect dedicated frozen-vegetable solicitations.
