UNSPSC 50456112: Frozen organic sigmaleaf spinach

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

UNSPSC 50456112 Frozen organic sigmaleaf spinach is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of fresh and prepared produce items for institutional food service — though recent solicitations show the code is being applied broadly to aggregated food-service bids that span produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies rather than to frozen spinach specifically. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have all posted food-procurement opportunities in the past six months, with issuing bodies ranging from county purchasing divisions to school districts to state procurement offices. The work being solicited includes shelf-stable proteins, grains, condiments, and fresh and frozen vegetables delivered to senior-service centers, school cafeterias, and institutional kitchens on tight delivery schedules — often with requirements for temperature control, USDA compliance documentation, whole-grain or low-sodium specifications, and domestic-sourcing preferences. Most solicitations use informal written quotes (IWQ) or line-by-line competitive bids with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; vendors must maintain three references, general liability insurance, HACCP plans, and E-Verify compliance when contract values exceed specified thresholds.

Georgia dominates recent activity, with Gwinnett County, Early County Schools, and the State of Georgia posting opportunities between May and October 2026. The most recent solicitation, Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229, closed October 19, 2026 and sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026. Early County Schools' FY27 food bid, due June 8, 2026, covers 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, with delivery July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend quarterly. The State of Georgia's May 15, 2026 food bid (due June 22, 2026) provides minimal detail beyond scope reference to an attached document but signals continuing state-level food procurement activity.
