UNSPSC 50443301: Frozen land cress

The variety of cresses known as land cress that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443301 Frozen land cress is a Commodity code with limited recent state and local procurement activity focused on this specific product. The opportunities posted since early 2026 show state and local governments buying frozen vegetables as institutional food service staples, but frozen land cress does not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed. Instead, state and local purchasing offices are actively procuring frozen corn, frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots), frozen carrots, frozen assorted vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, and stir-fry blends—all delivered to correctional facilities, school districts, state health and human services centers, and other institutional food service operations. The code as named does not align with the volume and frequency of actual purchasing activity in this commodity family; general frozen-vegetable procurement dominates, with land-cress-specific demand undetected in the available recent record.

State and local issuing bodies procuring frozen vegetables include state departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), school districts and boards of education across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia, county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and special-purpose educational consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative). The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a frequent repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for frozen vegetable products in the past six months. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026, $0.498 per pound reference pricing from prior award), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, prior contract value $1.5 million annually), and the Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products including frozen items (due April 2, 2026, district-wide as-needed purchasing). Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia school districts, Texas state agencies) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon ODOC), with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Connecticut) and Midwest (Missouri).
