UNSPSC 50456837: Frozen organic linkok

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

UNSPSC 50456837 Frozen organic linkok is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—frozen organic linkok, a specific seafood product—does not match the solicitations in the most-recent-opportunities block, which center on comprehensive school nutrition procurement covering fresh produce, eggs, frozen and grocery items, meats, poultry, dairy, condiments, and miscellaneous food service products for child nutrition programs and state food operations. The mismatch between the code's stated product and actual recent buys suggests either a tagging error or that frozen organic linkok represents a niche commodity within broader food service solicitations that are being categorized more broadly in practice.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this tag are almost entirely 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, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District—alongside two state-level solicitations from the State of Georgia for food supplies and fresh produce. Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with Dallas, Texas representing the southwesternmost point. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFQ, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026, sealed bid at 1:30 p.m. EST); Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend $4.4 million for Area One); and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, with most 2026 solicitations closing in late April through June and awarding by mid-summer for July 1, 2026 start dates.
