UNSPSC 50456823: Frozen organic dau mue or pea tips

The type of organic vegetable known as organic dau mue or pea tips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456823 Frozen organic dau mue or pea tips is a Commodity code that nominally names a single frozen vegetable product, but recent state and local opportunities show no solicitations actually seeking frozen dau mue or pea tips specifically. Instead, the code appears in school district and state agency food-service procurements that cast a much wider net across frozen and fresh produce, fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy, grains, proteins, and accompanying supplies. State and local buying under this code spans school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District) and state-level procurement offices (Georgia), with school nutrition and child nutrition services driving the majority of recent activity. The work involves line-by-line food-service bidding tied to federal meal programs, with vendors required to meet USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety plans, food recall protocols, and state-specific regulations such as Texas Legislative Bill #314 (non-preferred ingredient restrictions) and Georgia E-Verify requirements. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, firm pricing structures with limited quarterly or six-month adjustments tied to documented cost indices, minimum liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and delivery schedules locked to school hours and temperature specifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary opportunities in Missouri. Representative procurements include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for three schools; City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) encompassing frozen and grocery products delivered to ten sites with optional virtual pre-bid on April 29, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce annual contract (RFQ, due April 23, 2026) for 72 line items across 60 school sites; and Dallas Independent School District's various food products RFP (due April 2, 2026) seeking multiple suppliers for non-commodity food items through the 2026-2027 school year. The Douglas County School System issued two large procurements: a food supply and distribution services RFP (due February 18, 2026, estimated $9 million annually across 32 schools) and a fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated $5.5 million across 30 districts). The code shows no recent activity matching its nominal scope and carries a moderate volume of school-nutrition-focused, price-sensitive opportunities with standardized compliance and delivery requirements.
