UNSPSC 50456419: Frozen organic shirley tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50456419 Frozen organic shirley tomatoes is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, yet the recent state and local procurement record shows no solicitations actually requesting this product. The source contains eight recent opportunities across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas that fall under food service procurement — school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries — but none specifically name frozen organic shirley tomatoes or target this commodity. The Douglas County School System's fresh produce RFP (SN 26-004) encompasses approximately 72 line items including apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, onions, and citrus fruits, yet tomatoes appear only as fresh-market items, not as frozen organic variants. School districts, state agencies, and county food service authorities are the predominant issuing bodies in the recent record, procuring food products primarily for school nutrition programs under USDA commodity and meal-service frameworks, but the specific commodity code does not align with solicited work. The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.

The geographic spread of relevant food-service procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and includes Missouri and Texas, with Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County, City Schools of Decatur, Early County) and the State of Georgia appearing most frequently in the recent-opportunity block. Representative solicitations include the Douglas County School System's fresh produce RFP SN 26-004 (RFP posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, covering 30 school districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), the Early County Board of Education FY27 Food Bid (ITB posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, encompassing 300+ food items and 60 non-food products across three schools), and the Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products (RFP posted February 22, 2026, due April 2, 2026, for multiple suppliers serving the 2026-2027 school year). Vendors competing in this space must meet HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, general liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, E-Verify authorization, and food safety documentation requirements, with contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 and including renewal options spanning multiple years.
