UNSPSC 50456827: Frozen organic gai choy

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

UNSPSC 50456827 Frozen organic gai choy, a Commodity code, does not reflect material recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single specialty frozen vegetable product, but recent solicitations tagged with this code show instead a broad demand for comprehensive food service procurement — fresh produce, frozen foods, groceries, eggs, dairy, meats, condiments, and ancillary supplies for school nutrition programs and state institutional food service. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope (frozen organic gai choy specifically) and the actual work being solicited (multi-category food sourcing for school districts and state agencies) suggests either miscoding in the underlying procurement records or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for food products that do not fit tighter commodity classifications. State and local buyers posting under this code include school districts of varying size, state departments, and regional cooperative buying organizations.

Representative recent opportunities span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas school districts. Douglas County School System (Georgia) solicited an RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative on March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued an IFB for over 900 line-item grocery items on April 29, 2026, serving approximately 19,000 students. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs due June 8, 2026, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium products, and items without added sugars or artificial additives. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) solicited various food products not available through main commodity bids on April 2, 2026, including compliance with Texas Legislative Bill #314 restrictions on artificial colors, artificial flavors, high fructose corn syrup, and designated additives. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items on May 15, 2026, requiring HACCP plans, 24/7 recall accessibility, and $1 million general liability insurance per occurrence. All school district contracts span July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with renewal options ranging from three months to four additional one-year terms, firm pricing requirements, and Buy American compliance mandates. The code shows no relevant recent activity for actual frozen organic gai choy procurement.
