UNSPSC 50441910: Frozen cylindra beets

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

UNSPSC 50441910 Frozen cylindra beets, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within institutional and school food service procurement, though state and local opportunities tagged with this code show little recent activity directly aligned with frozen cylindra beets specifically. Instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader procurement pattern: state departments of corrections, school districts, health and human services agencies, and county facilities are actively buying frozen vegetables as part of comprehensive food service contracts—frozen corn, mixed vegetables, carrots, assorted blends, and potatoes dominate recent solicitations, with cylindra beets appearing only as one line item within larger multi-commodity vegetable bids. The work being solicited consists of bulk frozen vegetable supply and delivery to central warehouses and distribution centers serving institutional meal programs, with vendors required to meet USDA and FDA standards, maintain cold-chain integrity, provide documentation of shelf life and best-use-by dates, comply with allergen labeling, and deliver on FOB Destination terms with pricing quoted per pound or per case.

Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) appears as the most active repeat buyer, posting multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables since February 2026—solicitations S2910000016071 (frozen carrots, due March 5, 2026), S2910000016558 (assorted frozen vegetables including green beans and broccoli, due April 22, 2026), S2910000016589 (frozen carrots and assorted blend, due April 23, 2026), and S2910000017451 (frozen corn, due July 24, 2026)—each offering combined 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and 5 percent resident-bidder preferences. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia school districts (including Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, and City Schools of Decatur) likewise solicit frozen vegetable components within broader grocery and food service contracts. Recent pricing for frozen vegetables across these solicitations ranges from $0.30 to $0.67 per pound depending on variety and case size, with volumes typically measured in tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds per contract. Oregon, Texas, and Georgia account for the bulk of recent frozen-vegetable activity, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility) and other school districts nationwide. The code shows steady institutional procurement demand but no dedicated cylindra-beet-specific solicitations in the recent record; bidders pursuing this code should plan to compete as part of comprehensive vegetable-supply bids rather than single-commodity contracts.
