UNSPSC 50441909: Frozen chioggia beets

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

UNSPSC 50441909 Frozen chioggia beets (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the code appears disconnected from the actual buying patterns reflected in posted solicitations. State and local food procurement under related frozen-vegetable codes centers on broad assortments of frozen vegetables (corn, green beans, broccoli, mixed blends), frozen potato products, and fresh or processed proteins, dairy, and dry goods for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show no demand for frozen chioggia beets specifically — instead, jurisdictions source pre-portioned frozen staples in high volume for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services operations. When frozen vegetables are specified, they are commodity-level items with FDA/USDA compliance, HACCP certification, and temperature/shelf-life requirements, with delivery on FOB destination terms to central distribution points or individual facilities.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, county governments, and county facilities. Repeat buyers across recent postings include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple IFBs for state hospitals and state supported living centers), the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple ITBs for institutional frozen vegetables), Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (correctional facility supply), and school nutrition programs in Georgia. Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables (broccoli, corn, green beans, blends) due August 20, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products with an estimated $9 million annual volume through August 31, 2027, and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items due October 19, 2026. The code currently shows insufficient procurement activity to support business development focus on frozen chioggia beets as a distinct market segment under UNSPSC 50441909.
