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 reflect the actual procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The code shows little relevant recent activity — the frozen vegetable procurements posted in the data span frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and fresh produce across multiple states, but no beet-specific solicitations appear in the recent opportunities block. The mismatch between the code's stated product (action beets) and the scope of actual frozen-vegetable buys suggests either a classification error or minimal recent demand for this specific commodity.

State and local buyers pursuing frozen vegetables generally—including departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, health and human services facilities, and county detention centers—issue ITBs and IFBs under related frozen-vegetable codes across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn ITB (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) and frozen assorted-vegetable ITB (S2910000016558, due April 22, 2026), both FOB destination to Salem with Oregon-processing and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; and multi-school-district fresh-produce and frozen-food RFPs in Georgia, including the Bulloch County Board of Education's comprehensive grocery IFB (PE55612NONST2027000000033, due May 4, 2026) and the Douglas County School System's GEC Buying Cooperative fresh-produce RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046, estimated annual spend $5.5 million across 30 districts). Pricing in recent carrots and mixed-vegetable procurements has ranged from $0.30 to $0.69 per pound depending on variety and case size, with historical awards to vendors including Alpine Food, JNS Foods, and Robbins Sales. Activity is heaviest in school nutrition, correctional facilities, and state health-care operations — sectors with high-volume, recurring frozen-vegetable demand and structured procurement calendars — rather than in action beets specifically.
