UNSPSC 50456846: Frozen organic moqua

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

UNSPSC 50456846 Frozen organic moqua is a Commodity code that nominally describes frozen specialty produce items, though recent state and local solicitations under this code do not reflect procurement of moqua specifically. Instead, the code appears to be tagged inconsistently across food-service procurements that address broader fresh and frozen produce, grocery items, and meal-service supplies for school nutrition programs and state agency operations. The actual work being solicited includes frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies (cleaning and janitorial items, food-service disposables, paper products) bundled together in comprehensive food-service contracts. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations from the Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System, alongside state agencies (State of Georgia) and a major urban school district (Dallas Independent School District). These jurisdictions are sourcing for child nutrition and school lunch programs, with vendors required to meet USDA compliance, HACCP food safety plans, Buy American provisions, substantial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 depending on jurisdiction), and E-Verify authorization.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with Dallas Independent School District in Texas representing a standout large-scale buyer. Representative recent opportunities include the City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), the Rockwood R-VI School District bid for grocery items spanning over 900 line items across snacks, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees (due April 29, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative serving approximately $5.5 million in annual estimated spend (due March 4, 2026), and the Dallas Independent School District RFP for various food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, and most solicitations permit price adjustments only when supported by third-party market data (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index, or Urner Barry reporting), with increases capped at 3 to 10 percent thresholds before districts may source alternatives. The code shows active, recurring procurement but appears broadly misaligned with its nominal commodity description.
