UNSPSC 50441906: Frozen burpees golden beets

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

UNSPSC 50441906 Frozen burpees golden beets is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful connection to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specialized produce item, yet the sourced opportunities consistently document procurement of mainstream frozen and fresh food commodities — frozen corn, potatoes, mixed vegetables, carrots, and assorted produce — supplied to correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and food distribution programs across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch between code name and actual buying activity is stark and suggests a data classification error rather than active market demand for the named product.

The recent opportunities span school nutrition programs, correctional food service, state health and human services facilities, and school district cafeterias. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), multiple Georgia school districts, Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and Montgomery County Correctional Facility (Pennsylvania). The geographic footprint extends across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Illinois, with activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn bid (S2910000017451, ITB, due July 24, 2026, approximately 40,000 pounds at $0.498 per pound historical pricing), frozen potato products bid (S2910000017439, ITB, due July 24, 2026, 120,000 pounds estimated at $0.3811 per pound), and the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery procurement (BNB052266, RFP, due June 30, 2026, over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program). The code shows consistent activity but no actual procurement of golden beets or burpees — the stated commodity appears absent from all posted opportunities, indicating either obsolete taxonomy data or a classification error requiring remediation before pursuing this code.
