UNSPSC 50456830: Frozen organic ginger root

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

UNSPSC 50456830 Frozen organic ginger root is a Commodity code that sits beneath broader food-procurement activity in state and local jurisdictions, though recent opportunities show limited direct solicitation for frozen organic ginger root specifically. The code is subsumed within larger food-service procurements—primarily school nutrition programs and state facility food operations—where individual line items or lot structures may include specialty or organic produce. State and local agencies purchasing under this commodity typically operate through school districts, state departments managing cafeteria operations, and county education systems. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted food-procurement solicitations in the first half of 2026 that encompass produce categories and frozen items as part of broader nutrition-services contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. The Douglas County School System RFP (SN 26-004, posted February 4, 2026, closed March 4, 2026) sought fresh produce and eggs across 72 line items for 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with unit pricing based on USDA Atlanta Terminal Wholesale Market Report benchmarks. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) issued a grocery-items IFB (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items including produce, dairy, and prepared foods for delivery Monday through Friday. City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) posted a frozen-foods and grocery IFB (April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026) requiring HACCP plans, 24/7 food-recall accessibility, and delivery to ten designated sites. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids (May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. These solicitations typically award on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible or best-value basis, permit multi-vendor awards by line item, require firm pricing for contract periods (often July to June), and include Buy American compliance and HACCP certification requirements.
