UNSPSC 50443000: Frozen chinese cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50443000 Frozen Chinese Cabbages is a Class code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to frozen Chinese cabbages specifically. The opportunities posted in the source span frozen vegetables broadly—including corn, carrots, assorted blends, mixed vegetables, and potatoes—along with comprehensive grocery procurement for correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported living centers. The actual buying pattern reflects institutional food service (correctional, school nutrition, health and human services) sourcing frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumables as part of larger food supply contracts, not procurement of a single narrow commodity like Chinese cabbages.

Issuing bodies range across state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, State of Illinois, State of New Jersey), school districts (Fairfax County, Decatur, Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham, Rockwood, Ben Hill County), county governments (Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Douglas County Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). School districts and state correctional/health agencies dominate the recent posting volume. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast (Georgia, multiple districts) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon ODOC), with activity also in Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Illinois, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026, prior award at $0.498 per pound), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education RFP BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products (due June 30, 2026, supporting National School Lunch Program), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, prior period value $1.5 million). The code shows material activity but no meaningful concentration in frozen Chinese cabbages as a distinct procurement line.
