UNSPSC 50442502: Frozen autumn king carrots

The variety of carrots known as autumn king carrots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50442502 Frozen autumn king carrots, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal product—a specific variety of frozen carrot—is absent from the opportunities posted in the dataset, which spans from January through July 2026. The most recent activity under related frozen-vegetable codes names frozen corn, mixed vegetables, assorted blends, and generic frozen carrots without specification by cultivar, but no solicitation explicitly names autumn king carrots. State and local procurement in this commodity family is concentrated among correctional departments and school districts purchasing institutional food supplies, primarily in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, and Pennsylvania, with opportunities issued as ITBs and IFBs for multi-month or annual terms.

The mismatch between the Commodity code's specific product scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code may be underutilized or that buyers classify autumn king carrots under broader frozen-vegetable categories. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for frozen carrots without variety designation (such as S2910000016071, due March 5, 2026, and S2910000016589, due April 23, 2026), with pricing historically in the $0.40–$0.42 per pound range and Oregon-processing preferences worth up to 10 percent combined. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and other state agencies procure frozen vegetables and commodity food products regularly, but none of the recent solicitations name autumn king varieties by designation. If pursuing this code, vendors should monitor Oregon ODOC and similar state correctional and school-food solicitations under broader frozen-vegetable codes and prepare to bid competitively on per-pound pricing with full transportation included on FOB destination terms.
