UNSPSC 50442101: Frozen citadel brussel sprouts

The variety of brussel sprouts known as citadel brussel sprouts that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50442101 Frozen citadel brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that names a specific frozen vegetable product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no solicitations actually seeking brussels sprouts—frozen, castled, or otherwise. The block of recent opportunities instead reflects broader frozen-vegetable and institutional-food procurement activity across state agencies, county governments, school districts, and correctional facilities purchasing mixed frozen vegetables, complete grocery assortments, and food-service products under various commodity and family codes. This mismatch indicates the code either sees minimal recent activity or is being applied inconsistently by issuing bodies to related but distinct frozen-vegetable and prepared-food categories.

Across the opportunities present, issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Early County Board of Education, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia), and specialized facilities. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Georgia (county and school district bids), and scattered activity in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen-vegetable assortment procurement (ITB S2910000017692, 360,000 pounds, August 20, 2026 response date), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's frozen-food products solicitation for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017338, estimated $9 million annual volume, August 18, 2026 response date), and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items (October 19, 2026 response date). The code as currently tagged does not reliably segment frozen brussels sprouts procurement from the broader frozen-vegetable and institutional-food families it spans.
