UNSPSC 50442606: Frozen limelight cauliflowers

The variety of cauliflower known as limelight cauliflowers that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50442606 Frozen limelight cauliflowers, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source materials. The code nominally covers a single frozen vegetable product type, yet the recent opportunities posted under related frozen-vegetable classifications (UNSPSC 50442500-series range) show that state and local governments are procuring diverse frozen vegetables—carrots, mixed assortments, broccoli, green beans, peas, stir-fry blends, and corn—not the specific variety named in this code. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Human Services, and multiple school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, and Dallas Independent School District) are issuing ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs for frozen and fresh produce bundles that span 50–400+ line items each, but none of the posted solicitations explicitly name frozen limelight cauliflower as a required or referenced item. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ and HHSC, New Jersey DHS), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and other states.

The recent procurement activity concentrates on multi-item frozen and fresh produce contracts supporting institutional food service (correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers) and school nutrition programs, with response deadlines ranging from early February through late July 2026. Representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen corn (ITB, due July 24, 2026) at $0.498 per pound historical pricing; Texas Health and Human Services Commission HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including frozen items for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, due July 13, 2026) with historical contract value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and distribution centers (IFB, due April 27, 2026). The code shows robust activity in frozen-produce procurement broadly, but no procurement officer has tagged a solicitation under UNSPSC 50442606 specifically or named limelight cauliflower in bid specifications. The mismatch between the code's narrow product designation and the wide-ranging frozen-vegetable and produce bundles actually being solicited suggests this commodity code either sees no active state and local procurement or is systematically misclassified in the sources reviewed.
