UNSPSC 50456807: Frozen organic arum

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

UNSPSC 50456807 Frozen organic arum is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with this narrow specification. The source contains nine recent school district and state agency solicitations for food products spanning early 2026 through mid-2026, yet none specifically target frozen organic arum. Instead, the opportunities focus on broad fresh produce procurement, frozen and grocery foods, school nutrition staples, eggs, and comprehensive food service supply contracts. Georgia school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System) and the State of Georgia dominate the recent activity, along with solicitations from Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. School districts and state nutrition agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with multi-year contracts running from July through June fiscal years typical of child nutrition program procurement cycles.

The code shows no relevant recent activity. The solicitations tagged under this code address food service supply, fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery items, and eggs — categories substantially broader than frozen organic arum and unrelated to the code's stated commodity. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (issued January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) seeking a main-line distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual spending of approximately $9,000,000; Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including meats, dairy, vegetables, and fruits across three schools; and the State of Georgia's IFB #4 2027-2026 for Fresh Produce (posted April 20, 2026, due May 27, 2026). The code appears to be a classification error or administrative artifact rather than an active procurement category aligned with actual state and local buying patterns.
