UNSPSC 50456850: Frozen organic purslane

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

UNSPSC 50456850 Frozen organic purslane, a Commodity code, describes a single agricultural product line that state and local governments buy primarily through child nutrition and institutional food service procurement. Recent activity shows the code applied almost exclusively to school district food service solicitations, where frozen organic purslane appears as one line item among hundreds in broader fresh produce, grocery, and specialty food bids rather than as a standalone contract focus. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food products under this code span school districts (independent and county-based), state departments, and municipal school systems in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. The work involves supplying frozen vegetables and specialty produce items to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations across multiple school locations, typically delivered on fixed schedules to central warehouses or individual campuses with strict temperature and storage controls.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school systems, with the most recent Georgia solicitations including the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract (due April 23, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026), and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP for the 30-district GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026 and approved April 13, 2026). Outside Georgia, the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri solicited over 900 grocery line items including frozen and specialty items (due April 29, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP for specialty food products not available through main commodity bids (due April 2, 2026). These school district solicitations emphasize firm pricing for 12-month contract periods, Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and domestic sourcing preferences where available. Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia school systems but also appears in Missouri and Texas child nutrition procurement.
