UNSPSC 50456810: Frozen organic batatas

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

UNSPSC 50456810 Frozen organic batatas is a Commodity code that nominally specifies frozen sweetpotatoes, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code reflect broader food service procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional kitchens. The actual work being solicited encompasses fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, peppers, citrus fruits, potatoes), eggs, frozen and grocery items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, grains, condiments, breads), and food supply and distribution services to support child nutrition programs, school lunch and breakfast operations, and general institutional food service. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state departments (State of Georgia), and county-level entities. School districts appear as the dominant buyer type in recent activity, with Georgia jurisdictions showing particular concentration.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Missouri, with single solicitations from Texas. Georgia State Department of Agriculture, Douglas County School System (serving 30 districts across two areas), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, and Early County Board of Education posted fresh produce, frozen foods, and staple grocery bids between January and June 2026. Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicited over 900 line items of grocery products with estimated quantities reaching 500 cases annually per item (due April 29, 2026, ITB). Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP for specialty food products not available through main commodity bids, with a due date of April 2, 2026. Douglas County School System posted parallel RFPs for fresh produce and eggs (estimated $5.5 million annual spend across 30 districts, due March 4, 2026, RFP) and food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annual spend, due February 18, 2026, RFP). The code shows robust activity across institutional food sourcing but limited relevance to frozen organic batatas specifically—the code appears to be a catch-all taxonomy tag for school nutrition procurement rather than a precise commodity match.
