UNSPSC 50456107: Frozen organic malabar spinach

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

UNSPSC 50456107 Frozen organic malabar spinach is a Commodity code covering specialized produce items purchased by state and local jurisdictions primarily for food service and nutrition assistance programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying shelf-stable and fresh food products — including proteins, grains, vegetables, and dairy — for senior services, school meal programs, and institutional feeding operations. The code reflects routine procurement of food inventory for established nutritional programs rather than specialized sourcing of a single produce variety; issuing bodies treat frozen and shelf-stable items as interchangeable line items within broader food-supply contracts. Buyers include county departments, state procurement offices, and school district food service operations.

Georgia dominates recent activity, with Gwinnett County, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education all posting food solicitations between May and October 2026. Gwinnett County issued an IWQ in October 2026 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 and response due October 19, 2026. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid in May 2026 covering 300+ items for school breakfast and lunch programs, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with detailed scope in an attached document. All three solicitations use standard IFQ or sealed-bid processes with firm delivery dates, F.O.B. destination terms, and domestic sourcing or Buy American compliance requirements.
