UNSPSC 50441902: Frozen albina vereduna beets

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

UNSPSC 50441902 Frozen albina vereduna beets is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the nominal scope — recent solicitations tagged to it are actually for frozen vegetables broadly (carrots, assorted blends, corn, potato products) and comprehensive grocery procurement serving correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. The frozen beet line item itself does not appear in any of the recent opportunities, suggesting either sparse use of this specific commodity code or significant mislabeling within procurement systems. When present, frozen vegetable procurement for state and local buyers typically covers single-commodity line items priced per pound FOB destination, with minimum six-month shelf life, FDA/USDA Grade A or B standards, and delivery to centralized distribution centers or institutional food service warehouses.

State and local procurement activity under this code area spans correctional departments, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple frozen vegetable ITBs in the past four months (frozen corn, carrots, assorted blends, potato products), with responses due in late June and July 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST through OregonBuys, pricing $0.42 to $0.665 per pound depending on item, and Oregon vendor preferences of up to ten percent combined (five percent for Oregon-processed goods, five percent for resident-headquartered bidders). Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitations for frozen vegetable and supplemental food commodities cover multiple line items delivered to statewide distribution points. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Connecticut solicit frozen food components alongside fresh produce and grocery items in comprehensive school nutrition bids. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia; broader activity is scattered across state corrections, school nutrition programs, and health and human services operations nationwide. The code shows material activity volume but significant indexing problems that limit its reliability as a targeting tool for frozen beet or even frozen vegetable vendors.
