UNSPSC 50442103: Frozen oliver brussel sprouts

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

UNSPSC 50442103 Frozen oliver brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen brussel sprouts, oliver or otherwise. Instead, the tagged opportunities span frozen vegetables broadly (carrots, corn, assorted blends, mixed vegetables, and other frozen produce), fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery procurements for correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought represent a fundamental mismatch. State and local procurement offices use this code to tag diverse frozen-vegetable line items within larger food-service contracts rather than as a standalone commodity purchase vehicle.

The recent activity under this code across issuing bodies shows heavy concentration among institutional food-service buyers: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (carrots, assorted blends, corn) in July and April 2026; Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited frozen mixed vegetables and cafeteria food products; and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Texas issued comprehensive food bids that include frozen-vegetable line items among hundreds of other products. The code sees no activity as a focused procurement opportunity—it appears only as a component tag within broader grocery or food-service RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs. The geographic spread is national, with the densest recent posting activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, though no jurisdiction is pursuing frozen brussel sprouts specifically. Frozen vegetables as a category are commonly purchased through institutional nutrition programs and correctional-facility food-service contracts, with pricing typically quoted per pound on FOB Destination terms and delivery windows of 30 to 45 days. However, the lack of any recent solicitation specifically naming frozen brussel sprouts suggests this code is either misapplied to state and local procurements or represents a negligible purchase volume under this exact commodity description.
