UNSPSC 50441901: Frozen action beets

The variety of beets known as action beets that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441901 Frozen action beets, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code—the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for the Department of Community Services—lists frozen beets only as one of 35 shelf-stable and frozen food line items requested alongside peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables, with quotes due October 19, 2026. The code's nominal scope does not align with how state and local governments are actually purchasing frozen produce—they source frozen vegetables in large consolidated awards spanning multiple vegetable types and serving institutional feeding programs (correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, senior centers).

State and local procurement of frozen vegetables occurs under broader family and class codes that capture assorted frozen vegetable blends, individual frozen produce items, and institutional food service bundles. Recent activity shows Oregon's Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and state departments across the country issuing competitive bids (ITB, IFB, RFQ) for frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen assorted vegetable blends, and supplemental frozen food products serving correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, and other states. The code 50441901 captures a single narrow commodity—frozen action beets specifically—that does not drive independent procurement volume at the state and local level. Pursue only when a specific RFQ or IFB explicitly names frozen action beets as a standalone line item or when bundled produce specifications indicate beets as a required component; otherwise, monitor broader frozen vegetable family and class codes where institutional purchasing activity concentrates.
