UNSPSC 50456501: Frozen organic green globe turnips

The variety of organic turnips known as organic green globe turnips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456501 Frozen organic green globe turnips is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen organic produce under this code as part of broader food-service supply chains, particularly for school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent solicitations show frozen vegetables purchased alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples in multi-line competitive bids where frozen organic items are typically bundled with conventional frozen produce rather than solicited in isolation. The code sees activity from school districts (primary), state nutrition agencies, and municipal procurement offices seeking USDA-compliant food products for child nutrition services and state facility operations. Issuing bodies emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, domestic sourcing preferences, and alignment with federal school lunch and breakfast program requirements. Deliveries are made to multiple school sites or central warehouses Monday through Friday, with pricing held firm for contract periods running July through June and potential renewal options over multiyear terms.

School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas are the dominant buyers under this code. Douglas County School System, Georgia, issued Request for Proposal SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for one geographic area. Early County Board of Education, Georgia, posted a line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items including frozen and fresh vegetables for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. City Schools of Decatur, Georgia, issued Invitation for Bid (due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items with ten delivery sites and contract options extending to four additional one-year terms. Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri, solicited grocery items (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items with approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily. Dallas Independent School District, Texas, requested various food products (due April 2, 2026) including items subject to Texas Legislative Bill #314 non-preferred ingredients restrictions.
