UNSPSC 50606844 Frozen Non-GMO MOAP (Commodity) represents frozen specialty vegetable products that state and local school districts source as part of broader school nutrition procurement. The code's recent activity reflects demand from K-12 school food services purchasing frozen vegetables, particularly items meeting USDA whole-grain and nutrition standards, low-sodium specifications, and non-GMO certifications as part of district-wide meal programs. State and local governments soliciting under this code are predominantly public school districts and school systems, including Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, and Dallas Independent School District. A smaller stream of activity comes from state agencies and municipal entities procuring for food service operations, such as the State of Georgia purchasing frozen and fresh food products for institutional use. School districts dominate the solicitation mix, with Georgia districts accounting for multiple concurrent procurements and out-of-state districts in Missouri and Texas also active in the same timeframe.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an RFP with bids due June 8, 2026, encompassing over 300 food items including frozen vegetables, meats, dairy, and specialty products meeting USDA 2024 Final Rule specifications delivered to three schools.
