UNSPSC 50443901: Frozen angled loofah

The variety of gourds known as angled loofah that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50443901 Frozen angled loofah is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen angled loofah or related bath and personal care products. Instead, the opportunities are overwhelmingly focused on frozen food commodities—frozen vegetables, frozen potato products, frozen mixed vegetables, and fresh produce—sourced by corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and other public institutional food service operations. The code exhibits a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement practice.

State and local government purchasing under this code tag appears limited to institutional food procurement across multiple issuing-body types, primarily Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and numerous school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Virginia, along with a small number of county and municipal correctional facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid for approximately 120,000 pounds of frozen carrots with bids due March 5, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Invitation for Bids for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide, with responses due March 19, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' sealed bid for Master Grocery K-12 services to 45 schools, due April 27, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Texas, and Georgia, with additional solicitations in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The code shows no substantive activity in the actual product category—frozen angled loofah—and vendors evaluating this code should recognize the tagging as inconsistent with market demand.
