UNSPSC 50441920: Frozen pronto beets

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

UNSPSC 50441920 Frozen pronto beets, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; the code shows no relevant recent opportunities. The source contains fourteen recent solicitations for food procurement by state departments, counties, school districts, and correctional facilities across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, and New Jersey, yet none specifically names frozen beets or matches the scope of UNSPSC 50441920. The opportunities span frozen vegetables broadly—assorted vegetable blends, corn, potatoes, and mixed vegetables—but frozen beets do not surface as a distinct line item or contract focus in any of the posted solicitations from May through October 2026.

Procurement activity under this code's parent categories (frozen vegetables generally) is active and distributed across state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers, with repeat buyers including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school districts. Institutional feeding for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school lunch programs drives the volume. Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania show the most recent activity. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables (broccoli, corn, green beans) due August 20, 2026, with historical pricing at $0.578 to $0.67 per pound; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products (estimated annual volume $9 million, maximum contract value $19 million over the full period) due August 18, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive frozen and fresh produce covering multiple school sites, due June 15, 2026. Bidders should monitor frozen vegetable procurement broadly, but frozen beets as a specific commodity line does not appear to be a current state and local procurement priority based on recent notice activity.
