UNSPSC 50441911: Frozen d'egypte beets

The variety of beets known as d'egypte beets that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441911 Frozen d'egypte beets, a Commodity code, names a narrow frozen-vegetable product line that state and local governments procure as part of institutional food service to correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts. Recent state and local solicitations show this code appearing alongside broader frozen-vegetable procurements and mixed frozen-food buys rather than as a standalone line item; the code reflects a specific variety within larger frozen-vegetable and institutional-food acquisitions driven by USDA nutrition standards, correctional facility meal requirements, and school lunch program compliance.

Issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetables and food products include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state departments of corrections and human services in multiple states, county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and school districts across Georgia and Connecticut. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, with representative recent opportunities including the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen-vegetables procurement (S2910000017692, ITB, 360,000 pounds across broccoli, corn, green beans, and assorted blends, bids due August 20, 2026), the Texas HHSC's frozen food products solicitation (HHS0017338, approximately $9 million annual estimated volume for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, bids due August 18, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' food-items purchase (IFB, 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen products for senior services, quotes due October 19, 2026). No recent state or local solicitations specifically named frozen d'egypte beets as a line item; the code appears to sit within broader frozen-vegetable and institutional-food buys where vendors quote equivalent products against named-brand specifications.
