UNSPSC 50456842: Frozen organic mallows

The type of organic vegetable known as organic mallows that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456842 Frozen organic mallows is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not reflect actual buying patterns. The code nominally describes a single specialty product — frozen marshmallows with organic certification — yet the recent solicitations tagged under it concern broad food-service procurement spanning fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, and miscellaneous grocery items for school nutrition and state operations. School districts, county school systems, and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs (breakfast and lunch) driving the majority of activity. The scope of work encompasses full-line food supply contracting, individualized commodity procurement (produce, eggs, dairy, frozen entrees, spices, ice cream), and specialty product sourcing for child nutrition services. Vendors must meet HACCP certification, food-safety compliance, Buy American provisions, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance minimums typically ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, with most contracts running July 1 through June 30 annually.

Georgia and Missouri dominate recent activity, with multiple solicitations from the State of Georgia, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, and City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, alongside Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for three schools; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 to $1.1 million by geographic area (RFP, due March 4, 2026); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026); and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). The code shows little activity aligned to its nominal scope; the mismatch between the code label and actual procurement suggests a taxonomy misclassification rather than active demand for frozen organic marshmallows specifically.
