UNSPSC 50441825: Frozen green romano beans

The variety of beans known as green romano beans that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441825 Frozen green romano beans is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of frozen vegetable products—specifically mixed frozen vegetables, assorted blends, carrots, corn, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, and stir-fry combinations—for institutional food service operations, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living facilities. Issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county correctional facilities. The work ranges from small, single-item procurements (40,000 pounds of frozen corn for a state DOC warehouse) to comprehensive multi-category grocery bids spanning hundreds of line items across dozens of schools or multiple state facilities. Frozen vegetable line items are specified with grade standards (typically Grade A or B), shelf-life requirements (six months minimum from best-use-by date is standard), portion and packaging sizes (12/2 lb. bags, 18-pound cases, full truckloads), temperature maintenance (0 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit for frozen products), and delivery schedules (typically 30 to 45 days after order receipt, with standing deliveries monthly or quarterly). Pricing is quoted per pound or per case on FOB Destination terms with transportation and fuel prepaid by the vendor. Compliance with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards is universal, and many solicitations require nutritional labeling and documentation of best-use-by dates.

Recent activity shows strongest concentration in Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections issued at least six frozen-vegetable ITBs between February and July 2026), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, multiple school districts), Georgia (multiple school districts and county boards of education), and Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen corn (Solicitation S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) with a reference price of $0.498 per pound; the Oregon DOC's ITB for 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products (S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026) with reference pricing at $0.3811 per pound; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, posted February 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) encompassing 210 line items including frozen specialty foods; and school district RFPs such as Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's annual fresh-produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026). Oregon offers 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-processed goods and an additional 5 percent preference for resident bidders headquartered in Oregon. No formal set-aside programs appear to be reserved specifically for this code, though Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients) apply to school nutrition procurements, and Texas HUB subcontracting encouragement and Georgia cooperative-purchasing frameworks create entry points for disadvantaged and small businesses.
