UNSPSC 50442607: Frozen minaret cauliflowers

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

UNSPSC 50442607 Frozen minaret cauliflowers is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen minaret cauliflowers; the opportunities posted are overwhelmingly for frozen vegetables in broader categories—frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen assorted vegetables, and mixed frozen vegetables—or for comprehensive grocery procurement spanning dozens of product lines. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity focus and the actual procurements tagged to it signals either a data-tagging error in the opportunities system or a commodity that state and local governments buy rarely or only as part of larger frozen-vegetable line-item solicitations. Issuing bodies driving recent frozen-vegetable activity are primarily state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut, and one municipal purchasing office (City of Bridgeport). The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Pennsylvania) and Southwest (Texas), with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Upper Midwest (Missouri, Illinois).

Representative recent opportunities show state corrections facilities procuring frozen vegetables through ITBs. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017451 on July 10, 2026, seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn with delivery FOB Destination to Salem by July 24, 2026, with a historical reference price of $0.498 per pound from August 2025 (Alpine Food). The same agency issued ITB S2910000017558 on April 8, 2026, for five frozen vegetable product lines totaling approximately 400,000 pounds (green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir fry blend, peas) with bids due April 22, 2026, and Oregon offering a combined ten percent preference for in-state fabrication and resident headquarters. School districts dominate the broader frozen-and-grocery space with line-item bidding spanning 300–400+ items; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 bid (IFB 2000004323) due April 27, 2026, and the Dallas Independent School District food RFP (JC250079) due April 2, 2026, illustrate the scale and complexity typical of large school procurement. No specific activity under UNSPSC 50442607 (frozen minaret cauliflower) is evident in the recent opportunities, and pursuit of this code would be justified only if the vendor has direct relationships with corrections facilities or school districts sourcing the specific variety.
