UNSPSC 50441904: Frozen boltardy beets

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

UNSPSC 50441904 Frozen boltardy beets is a Commodity code, but state and local governments soliciting under this classification are purchasing a much broader range of frozen vegetable products—including frozen corn, assorted blends, carrots, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, mixed vegetables, and stir-fry combinations. Recent opportunities show that correctional facilities, state agencies, school districts, and counties are sourcing frozen vegetables in bulk quantities (40,000 to 400,000 pounds per solicitation) for institutional food service operations. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen corn, assorted vegetables, and root vegetables, while state health and human services agencies in Texas, state agencies in Georgia and Illinois, and school nutrition programs across the country are bidding frozen vegetable products as components of broader institutional food procurements. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services, education), county and city correctional facilities, school districts, and integrated state-local purchasing cooperatives; the Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer across multiple vegetable categories since February 2026.

The geographic footprint of recent activity centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) and 400,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables—green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir-fry blend, and peas (S2910000016558, due April 22, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, which includes frozen vegetables as line items (HHS0016792, due March 19, 2026); and the State of New Jersey Department of Human Services rebid for frozen mixed vegetables in 12/2 lb. cases (26DPP01307, due June 17, 2026). Pricing in recent awards has ranged from approximately $0.30 to $0.67 per pound depending on the vegetable type and case configuration. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders, and institutional buyers typically require FDA/USDA compliance, six-month to one-year shelf life, Grade A or B specifications, and FOB destination delivery within 30 to 45 days of purchase order issuance.
