UNSPSC 50456113: Frozen organic space spinach

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

UNSPSC 50456113 Frozen organic space spinach is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialty frozen produce items, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen organic spinach or other frozen produce. Instead, the tagged solicitations span broad food service supply categories—fresh produce, grocery staples, meats, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous food service items—that bear no direct relationship to the narrow code name. The issuing bodies are school districts and state departments across multiple states, including the State of Georgia, the Early County Board of Education (Georgia), the City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia). These jurisdictions solicit food service contracts primarily to support National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and child nutrition operations. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to frozen organic spinach procurement, suggesting either a mismatch between the commodity definition and actual state and local buying patterns or an absence of dedicated procurement activity in this specific product line.

The geographic activity under this code clusters heavily in Georgia, with additional solicitations from Missouri and Texas. Recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 RFP deadline for line-by-line food bids encompassing 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies; the City Schools of Decatur's May 15, 2026 IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due at 1:30 p.m. EST; the Douglas County School System's cooperative buying RFP for fresh produce and eggs due March 4, 2026, covering 30 districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two); and Dallas Independent School District's April 2, 2026 RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids. No opportunities specifically name frozen organic spinach or similar specialty frozen produce as line items, and the code classification appears to be a data-tagging artifact rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand in this commodity segment.
