UNSPSC 50456855: Frozen organic tassle grape-hyacinth

The type of organic vegetable known as organic tassle grape-hyacinth that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50456855 Frozen organic tassle grape-hyacinth is a Commodity code with little recent procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The eight recent opportunities posted under this code—from Georgia, Missouri, and Texas state and local education bodies—describe procurement of broad food-service categories including fresh produce, eggs, frozen foods, grocery items, and meals for school nutrition programs, not the specialized frozen ornamental botanicals the code name specifies. The sourcing bodies are school districts (Douglas County Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District) and state agencies (State of Georgia) pursuing routine child nutrition and school food service contracting. The code appears to be a misfiling or system default for general food procurement rather than a legitimate signal of demand for the commodity described in the code name.

Recent solicitations cluster in Georgia and Missouri with one Texas opportunity. Representative recent buys include Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts, estimated $5.5 million annual spending, sealed proposals due March 4, 2026); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (ten school sites, sealed bids due May 15, 2026); Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (300+ food items plus non-food supplies for three schools, due June 8, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation (over 900 line items, electronic bid due April 29, 2026); and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (multiple vendors, due April 2, 2026). All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Vendors must comply with HACCP, Buy American provisions, E-Verify, liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum), and food safety standards. No set-asides specific to disadvantaged enterprises are noted across these solicitations.
