UNSPSC 50441921: Frozen regalia beets

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

UNSPSC 50441921 Frozen regalia beets, a Commodity code, does not correspond to the state and local procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities dataset. The code nominally designates a single frozen vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities solicited under codes that map to this UNSPSC span a much broader scope: frozen vegetables of multiple types (corn, carrots, assorted blends, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir-fry blends, peas), frozen potato products, and comprehensive grocery procurement including fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. No recent solicitation explicitly names frozen beets or regalia beet varieties. The opportunities shown instead reflect state correctional facilities, school districts, county governments, and state health and human services agencies procuring bulk frozen vegetables as components of large institutional food service operations, with pricing typically quoted per pound or per case and delivery to central distribution centers, warehouse facilities, or individual school sites.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetable commodities include the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple ITB notices for frozen corn, carrots, and assorted blends in June and April 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products IFB in May 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables IFB in February and May 2026), and numerous school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Connecticut (school nutrition program food bids between February and June 2026). The geographic concentration appears heaviest in the Southeast and Texas, with significant activity also in Oregon and the Mid-Atlantic region. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn procurement (solicitation S2910000017451, ITB due July 24, 2026) for 40,000 pounds at reference pricing of $0.498 per pound from prior award, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables statewide contract (IFB HHS0016792, extended deadline February 23, 2026) spanning 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. The code shows material recent activity in institutional food service procurement but displays no clear evidence that frozen beets—regalia or otherwise—are being actively solicited at the state and local level.
