UNSPSC 50456426: Frozen organic yellow pear-shaped tomatoes

The variety of organic tomatoes known as organic yellow pear-shaped tomatoes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456426 Frozen organic yellow pear-shaped tomatoes is a Commodity code that nominally denotes a single produce item, but the recent solicitation record shows little direct activity under this specific code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code encompass a broader food service procurement landscape dominated by school nutrition programs and state agency food supply contracts. The kinds of work actually being solicited center on comprehensive food service supply agreements — including fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, protein, and related supplies — rather than the narrow frozen organic tomato specification the code name suggests. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, with Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) all posting active solicitations in the March-to-June 2026 window. State purchasing offices (Georgia) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts) also appear as repeat buyers. The scope spans fixed-price annual contracts typically running July 1 through June 30, with line-item bidding, firm pricing for 12-month terms (sometimes with inflation adjustments capped at 3–10% based on published indices), HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, food recall procedures, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with $4.4–$1.1 million estimated annual spend; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce bid; City Schools of Decatur frozen foods and grocery IFB; State of Georgia fresh produce IFB and general food supply bid), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items for 900+ line items) and Texas (Dallas Independent School District RFP for various food products for the 2026–2027 school year due April 2, 2026). Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (main-line distributor, $9 million estimated annual spend, proposals due February 18, 2026) and Early County Board of Education FY27 Food Bid for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support (line-by-line bids, 300+ food items plus 60 non-food supplies, due June 8, 2026). The code as currently tagged appears mismatched to the actual procurement activity; the recent opportunities are broad food service supply agreements rather than procurement of a specific frozen tomato product.
