UNSPSC 50456900: Frozen organic sugar peas

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

UNSPSC 50456900 Frozen organic sugar peas is a Class code that maps broadly to frozen produce procurement, but the recent state and local opportunities under this code show little activity specifically aligned with the commodity name. The solicitations posted since February 2026 focus predominantly on comprehensive food service portfolios — fresh produce, eggs, dairy, proteins, grains, and miscellaneous grocery and frozen items — rather than frozen organic peas as a discrete line item. School nutrition programs and state food service operations are the primary issuing bodies, with opportunities spanning independent school districts, county school systems, and state purchasing offices that aggregate demand across multiple schools and facilities. The scope of work reflects institutional meal-service procurement: vendors supply bulk quantities of fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and non-food items (cleaning supplies, paper products, storage equipment) to centralized warehouses or individual school sites, with delivery windows typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on weekdays, temperature control requirements, HACCP plan compliance, Buy American provisions, and firm pricing across contract periods running July through June. Issuing bodies include the State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System (Georgia).

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary participation from Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items and 60+ non-food products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026, with virtual pre-bid conference April 29, 2026, serving ten school sites); Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend $5.5 million across 30 school districts in two geographic areas); and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026, covering items not available through main commodity bids). The code shows modest recent activity overall; opportunities are episodic and driven by school-year contract renewals rather than continuous procurement, and the code's nominal scope (frozen organic sugar peas) does not clearly map to the breadth of institutional food-service purchasing actually occurring in the posted solicitations.
