UNSPSC 50442608: Frozen orange bouquet cauliflowers

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

UNSPSC 50442608 Frozen orange bouquet cauliflowers, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county social services—covering broad categories of shelf-stable and frozen food products including proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and consumables, not frozen cauliflower specifically. The code appears to be applied as a catch-all category for institutional bulk food purchasing rather than as a narrowly targeted produce item.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Schools, Burke County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and state departments (Georgia, New Jersey). Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, and school districts in Georgia appear frequently across multiple recent solicitations. Recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 purchase of approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026 (informal written quotes); Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables due August 20, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products to state hospitals and supported living centers due August 18, 2026 with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million; and Burke County Schools sealed bid for comprehensive grocery procurement due June 5, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Oregon (Department of Corrections multiple procurements), Georgia (county and school district bids), Illinois (veterans home weekly orders), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County correctional facility), and Connecticut (Bridgeport schools), with additional activity in New Jersey and other states. The code shows consistent recent activity but with scope misalignment suggesting vendor confusion or systematic miscoding at the commodity level.
