UNSPSC 50456863: Frozen organic udo

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

UNSPSC 50456863 Frozen organic udo is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with frozen organic udo specifically. Instead, the solicitations address broad food procurement for school nutrition programs and state operations, encompassing fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas) and state purchasing offices (Georgia Department of State Services). The work being solicited ranges from fresh produce contracts with 72+ line items to comprehensive grocery bids covering 900+ SKUs, often emphasizing USDA compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, and firm pricing with limited escalation allowances tied to published commodity indices.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary solicitation volume in Missouri. The Douglas County School System in Georgia has issued two substantial RFPs: one for food supply and distribution services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) and another for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). Early County Board of Education in Georgia sought line-by-line food bids with contract commencement July 1, 2026 and response deadline June 8, 2026 (ITB PE55045NONST2027000000006). Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP on February 22, 2026 (due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots for the 2026-2027 school year. The State of Georgia has posted multiple IFBs for fresh produce and general food, supplies, and kitchen products. School nutrition procurement dominates this code's recent activity, with contracts typically structured as annual or multi-year arrangements with renewal options and firm-pricing terms, questions Q&A cycles, and pre-bid conferences where offered. Evaluation emphasizes lowest responsive bid, compliance with federal and state food-service standards, vendor experience, and ability to meet volume and delivery commitments.
