UNSPSC 50456416: Frozen organic red alert tomatoes

The variety of organic tomatoes known as organic red alert tomatoes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456416 Frozen organic red alert tomatoes is a Commodity code that describes a specific produce item — frozen organic tomatoes marked as red alert — but recent state and local procurements tagged with this code do not reflect that narrow specification. Instead, jurisdictions are soliciting broad food-service categories spanning produce, dairy, meats, prepared entrees, and supply items for school nutrition programs, institutional cafeterias, and child nutrition services. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state agencies in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with occasional county-level participation. The work ranges from large multivendor food procurement requiring HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, food recall procedures, and cold-chain management to single-supplier contracts for main-line food distribution and central warehousing.

Activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, and the State of Georgia itself) and extends into Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP, February 18, 2026 due date) seeking a main-line distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (line-by-line bid, June 8, 2026 due date) for approximately 300+ food items and 60 non-food products across three schools; and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for Fresh Produce (April 23, 2026 due date) covering 72 produce items for 60 school sites. All school district procurements require firm pricing, include delivery fees in quoted prices without separate fuel surcharges, mandate vendor insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability depending on the district), and allow multivendor or line-item-basis awards. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are named across these solicitations, though Dallas ISD encourages Small Business Opportunity program participation and Decatur Schools intends maximum practicable opportunities for minority and women-owned firms.
