UNSPSC 50441914: Frozen egyptian flat beets

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

UNSPSC 50441914 Frozen Egyptian flat beets is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify frozen vegetable procurements, though the recent opportunities block shows little activity specifically targeting this product line. Instead, the available solicitations reflect substantially broader frozen vegetable categories and general grocery procurement across institutional food service, school nutrition, and state-agency operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetables include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, county correctional facilities, and regional purchasing cooperatives. The work being solicited ranges from single-commodity frozen-vegetable contracts (frozen corn, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends) to comprehensive multi-item grocery and food-service procurements spanning frozen and fresh produce, meats, dairy, dry goods, and supplies.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and Mountain West, with Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania showing the heaviest recent solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn, due July 24, 2026, with Oregon preferences up to 10 percent for in-state fabrication and residency; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior annual value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 to 45 schools, due April 27, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by area, due March 4, 2026. Institutional food-service contracts typically require FOB destination pricing with all transportation prepaid, firm pricing for initial periods (15–30 days to 365 days), compliance with federal USDA standards and Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, liability insurance starting at $500,000 per occurrence, and E-Verify certification.
