UNSPSC 50444004: Frozen snow peas

The variety of green peas known as snow peas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444004 Frozen snow peas (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity primarily through mixed frozen vegetable procurements that bundle snow peas with other varieties rather than as a standalone commodity. State and local buying under this code reflects institutional food service—correctional facilities, state health agencies, school districts, and social services programs—purchasing frozen vegetables in volume for cafeteria and nutrition programs. The actual work solicited involves supplying FDA/USDA-compliant frozen produce meeting specific grade and shelf-life standards, delivered FOB destination to centralized distribution points or individual facility kitchens, with pricing quoted per pound or per case on a firm fixed basis.

Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county and municipal school districts, and county correctional facilities across multiple regions. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears repeatedly as a high-volume buyer of frozen vegetables including snow peas within assorted blends, as does the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers. School districts in Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Illinois regularly solicit frozen produce as part of broader school nutrition food bids. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen assorted vegetables (S2910000016558, due April 22, 2026), requesting approximately 400,000 pounds across multiple frozen vegetable product lines with delivery to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026 as extended), encompassing 210 line items including frozen foods for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), seeking grocery supply and delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, due June 15, 2026), covering fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, and supplies for four school locations in Georgia. Activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, with scattered activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and New Jersey. Contracts typically run one year with renewal or extension options, firm pricing for the initial term with potential mid-contract adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data, and insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on facility type and contract scope.
