UNSPSC 50441922: Frozen sugar beets

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

UNSPSC 50441922 Frozen sugar beets, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation activity among state and local buyers. The recent opportunities block contains no bids specifically requesting frozen sugar beets as a line item or primary product. Instead, state and local food procurement under this code tier appears embedded in broader institutional food supply contracts where frozen vegetables—including beets—may be bundled as one component among dozens or hundreds of line items in school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and human services centers. When frozen beets do appear, they are typically part of mixed frozen vegetable assortments or general produce categories rather than standalone commodities.

The issuing bodies pursuing frozen vegetable procurements across the recent block span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans' Homes, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools), and state divisions (New Jersey Department of Human Services). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 (360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables including broccoli, corn, and green beans, bids due August 20, 2026), Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (shelf-stable and frozen food items for senior services, quotes due October 19, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 (106 line items of frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, bids due August 18, 2026 with estimated annual volume of $9 million). Frozen sugar beets as a discrete procurement remain absent from recent state and local solicitations; procurement interest centers on mixed frozen vegetable blends, corn, broccoli, green beans, and potato products rather than single-commodity frozen beet contracts.
