UNSPSC 50456504: Frozen organic purple top milan turnips

The variety of organic turnips known as organic purple top milan turnips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456504 Frozen organic purple top milan turnips is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and fresh food procurement by state and local institutional buyers, particularly school districts and county social-services departments sourcing for meal programs and senior services. The recent opportunities under this code show purchases of canned vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, protein, grains, and miscellaneous food-service items rather than frozen turnips specifically, indicating the code functions as a broad food-commodities catch-all. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). These buyers source food for National School Lunch Programs, school breakfast programs, and county senior services, with deliveries typically required multiple times weekly during narrow morning windows and strict temperature and rotation controls for perishables. Food vendors must comply with USDA nutrition standards, Buy American provisions, HACCP food-safety plans, general liability insurance thresholds, E-Verify, and allow piggybacking by other districts.

Early County Board of Education issued an IFB on May 11, 2026 (PE55045NONST2027000000006) for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
