UNSPSC 50456801: Frozen organic alfalfa

The type of organic vegetable known as organic alfalfa that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456801 Frozen organic alfalfa is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show virtually no procurement activity for frozen organic alfalfa itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect a systematic mismatch: all eight posted solicitations address broad food-service procurement for school districts, city school systems, and state departments — encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, dairy, eggs, and general food-supply distribution for child nutrition and school meal programs. The code's nominal scope (frozen organic alfalfa, a specialty feed or forage product) bears no visible relationship to what these issuing bodies are actually buying. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these food-service opportunities with an incorrect or overly narrow commodity code, likely due to classification systems that do not cleanly separate agricultural commodities and specialty feed products from mainstream food procurement.

The recent opportunities cluster in Georgia and Missouri school districts and state agencies between January and June 2026, with the broadest activity among independent school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) and city school systems (Dallas Independent School District in Texas), alongside state procurement arms in Georgia. The Douglas County School System appears twice—once for a main-line food distributor RFP with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million (due February 18, 2026) and again for a produce-and-eggs cooperative purchasing RFP with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across 30 districts (due March 4, 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) soliciting 300+ food items plus non-food supplies for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, and the Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026), both addressing operational school nutrition procurement with no apparent connection to frozen organic alfalfa. Business developers should verify the correct code tier and commodity classification before committing resources; this code shows little actionable recent activity in its stated product family.
