UNSPSC 50442612: Frozen white rock cauliflowers

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

UNSPSC 50442612 Frozen white rock cauliflowers, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement where state and local governments buy frozen cauliflower primarily as part of broader meal service contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations confirm that frozen cauliflower appears within larger frozen vegetable bundles rather than as a standalone line item; the code captures a specific vegetable variety within the broader frozen produce category that institutional foodservice operations source to meet nutrition requirements and menu diversity.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span correctional departments, state health and human services commissions, school nutrition programs, and senior services departments across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Illinois. Recent activity shows Oregon Department of Corrections (August 2026, ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables including corn and green beans, bids due August 20), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (August 2026, IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products including vegetables for state hospitals and supported living centers, bids due August 18), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (October 2026, IWQ 140229 requesting 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items for senior services, quotes due October 19). School districts including Burke County Public Schools (Georgia, May 2026), Early County Board of Education (Georgia, May 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia, May 2026) solicited frozen vegetables as line items within comprehensive nutrition procurement packages. The geographic concentration remains heaviest in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Northeast (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois). Most opportunities flow through IFB and ITB notice types with response windows of 14 to 45 days; pricing is evaluated on per-unit or per-pound bases with firm fixed pricing required through initial contract terms, and awards typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders meeting detailed nutritional, temperature, and shelf-life specifications.
