UNSPSC 50456814: Frozen organic caperberries

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

UNSPSC 50456814 Frozen organic caperberries is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not map clearly to the work being procured. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—food supply and distribution services, fresh produce, grocery items, and various food products for school nutrition programs—involve conventional frozen and fresh foods, produce, eggs, dairy, grains, meats, and pantry staples. Frozen organic caperberries, a specialty item, do not appear in any of the representative solicitations. School districts and state agencies are the dominant issuing bodies, procuring meal components and kitchen supplies for child nutrition programs, food service operations, and general institutional food needs. The procurement activity spans multiple states and regions, with concentrated recent activity in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, and the State of Georgia) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), alongside Texas (Dallas Independent School District). This code shows substantial procurement volume but reflects a mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual goods being bought in practice.

Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (issued January 21, 2026, responses due February 18, 2026), seeking a main-line distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (issued May 11, 2026, responses due June 8, 2026) for line-by-line bids covering 300+ food items and 60 non-food and paper supplies across three schools; and the Dallas Independent School District's RFP JC250079 for Various Food Products (issued February 22, 2026, responses due April 2, 2026), seeking multiple suppliers for food products delivered to the Maria Luna warehouse on an as-needed basis for the 2026-2027 school year. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, require firm pricing for the contract term, mandate compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP plans, and award on lowest responsive bid with price escalation tied to documented market conditions or index data. The code sees limited activity genuinely targeting caperberries or other specialty frozen organic produce items.
