UNSPSC 50456115: Frozen organic water spinach

The type of organic vegetable known as organic water spinach that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456115 Frozen organic water spinach is a Commodity code that describes a narrow agricultural product line — specifically, frozen spinach processed to organic standards — yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little direct procurement activity for the product itself. Instead, the opportunities in the block reflect broader food-service contracting by school districts and state agencies where frozen organic water spinach may be one line item among hundreds in larger comprehensive food bids. State and local governments procure frozen produce through school nutrition programs and institutional food operations, typically as part of multi-category frozen and fresh produce solicitations that encompass vegetables, fruits, proteins, and dry goods. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas), state departments (Georgia Department of Education food supply operations), and cooperative purchasing consortiums (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). School nutrition programs drive most activity under this code tier, with contracts structured as annual or multi-year agreements for the school year running July 1 through June 30, typically with renewal options.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education RFP issued May 11, 2026, with response due June 8, 2026, for approximately 300 food items including vegetables to support the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, and the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP (Douglas County School System issue) released February 4, 2026, with proposals due March 4, 2026, covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for one geographic area. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued Bid 26-34 on March 22, 2026, requesting bids for 72 fresh produce items with delivery to 60 school sites, response due April 23, 2026, and the Dallas Independent School District released an RFP on February 22, 2026, for various food products including produce and specialty items, due April 2, 2026, with a contract period covering the 2026–2027 school year. Frozen organic water spinach, if offered, would compete as a line item in these larger produce and grocery bids rather than as a standalone solicitation.
