UNSPSC 50456808: Frozen organic bamboo shoots

The type of organic vegetable known as organic bamboo shoots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456808 Frozen organic bamboo shoots is a Commodity code that spans a narrow product line, yet state and local governments solicit under it primarily as part of broader food procurement — specifically shelf-stable and fresh food items for school meals, senior services, and institutional feeding programs. Recent opportunities in Georgia show that jurisdictions tag this code when acquiring food for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, senior nutrition services, and general institutional food supply. The issuing bodies are typically county boards of commissioners, state food procurement offices, and school districts. Scope varies by issuer: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners seeks shelf-stable products including canned vegetables and proteins for senior services; the State of Georgia procures across food, supplies, and kitchen products in bulk; Early County Board of Education emphasizes fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, and specialty items meeting USDA whole-grain and low-sodium standards for school nutrition. Deliveries are generally F.O.B. Destination to institutional sites, with strict temperature, labeling, and compliance requirements (HACCP plans, E-Verify, Buy American, food-recall procedures, and liability insurance thresholds).

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, with three posted opportunities in 2026 spanning May through October. Gwinnett County posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of food items due October 19, 2026, as an informal written quote (IWQ) to the Department of Community Services. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid for 300+ food and 60+ non-food items for school lunch and breakfast programs with a June 8, 2026 due date and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension and renewal options. The State of Georgia issued a statewide food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Awards are typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing evaluated per unit of measure; school districts allow price escalation on a six-month basis supported by USDA or CPI data and permit piggybacking by other districts on identical terms. No other states appear in the recent opportunity block.
