UNSPSC 50456824: Frozen organic diakon

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

UNSPSC 50456824 Frozen organic diakon is a Commodity code that nominally describes frozen specialty vegetable products; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen organic diakon specifically. Instead, the posted solicitations focus on broad school nutrition and institutional food service — fresh produce, eggs, dairy, frozen foods, grocery staples, and prepared items for child nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) with two state-level food procurement initiatives from the State of Georgia. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal commodity; the mismatch between the code name and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests this code may be incorrectly applied in state and local systems or sits dormant for its intended use.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program across three schools; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items for the 2026–2027 school year (due May 15, 2026) at ten school sites; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement spanning over 900 line items (electronic bid due April 29, 2026, CDT); Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not available through main commercial bids (due April 2, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One (due March 4, 2026). School districts typically require firm pricing for the full contract period, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and delivery schedules aligned with school operating hours.
