UNSPSC 50442600: Frozen cauliflowers

The type of vegetable known as cauliflowers that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50442600 Frozen cauliflowers is a Class code, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code does not reflect purchases of frozen cauliflower or frozen vegetables limited to cauliflower alone. Instead, the opportunities show a much broader pattern: state and local agencies are buying frozen mixed-vegetable assortments, individual frozen vegetables (corn, carrots, assorted blends, broccoli, green beans, peas, and stir-fry blends), and comprehensive grocery procurement that includes frozen vegetables as one line among dozens of food categories. The code's nominal scope—cauliflower specifically—does not align with what is actually being solicited. Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division and Texas Department of Criminal Justice are frequent buyers posting ITBs and IFBs for frozen vegetables, but these solicitations span multiple frozen-vegetable SKUs and broader food commodities rather than cauliflower alone. School districts across Georgia (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas (Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), and other states are bundling frozen vegetables into much larger food-service contracts supporting child nutrition programs and institutional feeding.

Activity on this code is geographically dispersed across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Connecticut, reflecting national state and local procurement volume but concentrated in correctional facilities and school food services. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017451 (40,000 pounds of frozen corn, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB BNB052266 (grocery items for the Board of Education including frozen products, due June 30, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools' sealed-bid procurement (400 line items including frozen vegetables, due June 5, 2026). Because the code title does not match the actual commodity mix being purchased, this code shows little relevant activity if pursued narrowly as a cauliflower-specific vehicle; vendors should monitor broader frozen-food and grocery-commodity codes instead.
