UNSPSC 50444103 Frozen borage, a Commodity code, captures specialized food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state procurement offices source frozen borage and related consumable food products to supply residential care facilities, state-supported living centers, and institutional kitchens. The work involves supplying prepared or processed food items meeting specification and regulatory standards, with pricing typically structured as firm fixed unit rates and subject to periodic adjustment formulas tied to consumer price indices. Issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies operating residential or custodial facilities, alongside state purchasing offices that coordinate multi-agency food procurement.
