UNSPSC 50441916: Frozen formanova beets

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

UNSPSC 50441916 Frozen formanova beets (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned to the code's nominal scope—state and local procurement data reflects substantial frozen vegetable purchasing by corrections departments, school districts, and state health agencies, but the recent opportunities record contains no solicitations specifically for frozen formanova beets. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice issue frequent ITBs for frozen vegetables including carrots, mixed assortments, corn, and potato products; school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia solicit comprehensive frozen vegetable and grocery packages as part of larger food service contracts. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county and municipal school districts, and county jails, with corrections facilities and school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer categories.

The most recent relevant activity involves frozen vegetables more broadly rather than formanova beets specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs on July 10, 2026, for frozen corn (40,000 pounds) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds) under notice types S2910000017451 and S2910000017439, both with July 24, 2026, response deadlines and Oregon preferences totaling up to ten percent. Earlier ODOC solicitations in June and April 2026 sought frozen assorted vegetables, carrots, and broccoli blends in multi-truckload quantities. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T26300CF in May 2026 for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including frozen specialty entrees. School districts in Decatur and Bulloch County, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia; and Dallas, Texas issued RFPs and IFBs during April–June 2026 for comprehensive grocery procurement spanning frozen and fresh produce as components of district-wide food service contracts. The code shows geographic concentration in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, particularly Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, where corrections and school food service procurement occurs regularly. Vendors pursuing frozen-vegetable opportunities in this tier should monitor ODOC and TDCJ solicitations as the most frequent repeat buyers, note that Oregon applies statutory preferences favoring in-state goods and resident bidders, and expect firm-fixed FOB-destination pricing with delivery within 30–45 days of order.
