UNSPSC 50443705: Frozen sirio fennel

The variety of fennel known as sirio fennel that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443705 Frozen sirio fennel, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no opportunities specifically for frozen fennel or fennel products; instead, recent solicitations consistently target frozen vegetables in broader assortments — carrots, corn, mixed blends, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, and green beans — along with comprehensive grocery supply contracts spanning proteins, dairy, produce, and staple items. Oregon Department of Corrections and school districts across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia represent the primary issuing bodies, with corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and state supported living centers driving the bulk of recent activity. The code's narrow commodity scope does not match the actual work being bought under frozen-vegetable procurements at the state and local level.

State and local procurement offices issue frozen-vegetable solicitations through ITBs and RFPs with response dates clustered in spring and early summer months, typically for July-September or July-June fiscal-year deliveries. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted multiple frozen-vegetable ITBs in April and June 2026 — Vegetables Frozen, Corn (S2910000017451, ITB, due July 24, 2026) and Potatoes, French Fries or Wedges (S2910000017439, ITB, due July 24, 2026) — both requiring FOB Destination delivery to Salem and pricing per pound inclusive of freight. School districts nationwide (Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Dallas ISD, Decatur City Schools) and state agencies (Texas HHSC, Georgia procurement) regularly bid frozen vegetables as line items within broader food-supply contracts, but standalone commodity codes for specific frozen-vegetable varieties like fennel appear inactive in current state and local markets. The mismatch between the code's specificity and actual procurement patterns suggests this code warrants monitoring only if your firm develops channel relationships with institutional food-service suppliers currently winning frozen-produce awards.
