UNSPSC 50456114: Frozen organic trinidad spinach

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

UNSPSC 50456114 Frozen organic trinidad spinach is a Commodity code that captures procurement of specialty frozen produce items for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show the code appearing in the context of broad fresh and frozen produce solicitations rather than spinach-specific purchasing. State and local governments acquire frozen and fresh produce primarily through school districts and county or state purchasing offices to support child nutrition programs, with solicitations typically bundling dozens or hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, frozen vegetables, fruits, eggs, and related staples. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including large urban systems like Dallas Independent School District and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, mid-size districts like Early County Board of Education and Rockwood R-VI, and county-wide cooperative procurements like Douglas County School System serving 30 districts—alongside state procurement offices in Georgia. School nutrition procurement dominates this code's activity, driven by USDA child nutrition program requirements and Buy American mandates.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 72 line items and a five-year contract with automatic renewal. The Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots for the 2026-2027 school year, with awards made on a line-item basis to multiple vendors. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line bids (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items plus non-food supplies across three schools, with firm pricing for July 2026 through June 2027 and contract extensions available. The City Schools of Decatur, Georgia issued an IFB (due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items for ten school sites with a contract period running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and renewal options for up to four additional one-year terms. Rockwood R-VI Child Nutrition Services in Missouri solicited bids (due April 29, 2026) for over 900 line items of grocery items serving approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. All school district procurements emphasize compliance with Buy American requirements, HACCP plans, food safety documentation, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000, and E-Verify authorization.
