UNSPSC 50442106: Frozen rubine brussel sprouts

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

UNSPSC 50442106 Frozen rubine brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurements. The recent opportunities tagged with this code show substantial activity in frozen vegetables broadly — including frozen corn, frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots), frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blend vegetables, and fresh produce — but none specifically reference frozen rubine brussel sprouts. State and local buying across these opportunities clusters in Oregon Department of Corrections multiple vegetable ITBs, Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products (382 line items spanning proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and vegetables), Texas HHSC supplemental food for state hospitals and supported living centers (210 line items including frozen foods), school district grocery and nutrition program solicitations across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, and county correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, school districts and boards of education, and county facilities, with repeat activity from Oregon ODOC (six frozen-vegetable solicitations visible), multiple Georgia school districts (Early County, Bulloch County, Burke County, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (two solicitations), and Texas entities (TDCJ, HHSC, Dallas ISD). Geographic concentration is strongest in Oregon, Georgia, Texas, and Missouri, with additional activity in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Virginia.

The code shows extensive recent purchasing activity, but not for frozen rubine brussel sprouts specifically. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, ITB closing July 24, 2026), Oregon ODOC ITB S2910000017439 for frozen potato products — french fries, wedges, tater tots (120,000 pounds total, ITB closing July 24, 2026) — and Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products (382 line items including frozen specialty entrees, IFB response extended to May 4, 2026). School nutrition programs drive substantial volume: Fairfax County Public Schools master grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Bulloch County Board of Education School Nutrition program (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM), and Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m.). State hospital and correctional-facility food service procurement runs to contract values in the $1.5 million to $9 million range annually; the HHSC supplemental food contract maximum potential is $4,500,000 over three years. Most solicitations use ITB or IFB notice types with firm, fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-pound basis, FOB destination delivery, six-month to one-year minimum shelf life, and compliance with FDA/USDA standards and HACCP requirements. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; school districts require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content) and debarment certification for bids exceeding $25,000.
