UNSPSC 50443302: Frozen nasturtium

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

UNSPSC 50443302 Frozen nasturtium is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not appear to be buying under current procurement activity. The source materials contain no recent solicitations for frozen nasturtium; instead, the documented state and local opportunities span frozen vegetables of a different scope—frozen corn, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and frozen potatoes—purchased primarily by correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies. The code name does not align with the purchasing behavior reflected in the recent opportunities dataset, which clusters around staple frozen vegetable commodities rather than specialty items such as nasturtium. The lack of recent activity under this specific code suggests either minimal procurement demand or systematic miscoding of frozen vegetable purchases within state and local systems.

State and local governments soliciting frozen vegetables do so through multiple agency types including departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), school districts and boards of education (multiple Georgia districts, Texas ISDs, Connecticut, Missouri), health and human services commissions (Texas), and county correctional facilities (Pennsylvania). Oregon's Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple frozen-vegetable ITBs in recent weeks. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn due July 24, 2026, and their ITBs for frozen assorted vegetables, carrots, and potato products posted in June and April 2026. School districts from Georgia (Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur) and Texas (Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia) regularly solicit frozen and fresh produce, with typical response windows of 30 to 60 days and contract terms running July 1 through June 30. Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania show the most recent activity; Missouri and Virginia schools also participate. The buying pattern—correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health facilities—suggests this code would serve procurement professionals supporting food service supply chains, though the specific commodity code does not reflect current market solicitation behavior.
