UNSPSC 50444106: Frozen cilantro

The variety of herbs known as cilantro that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444106 Frozen cilantro is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of fresh and frozen produce items for institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure frozen cilantro primarily as part of broader food-supply contracts for correctional facilities, state hospitals, residential care centers, and other institutions with large dining operations. The code appears in solicitations alongside other perishable and nonperishable food items rather than as a stand-alone line item, and vendors typically supply it as part of integrated food-service agreements that include produce, proteins, dry goods, and related supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state hospital systems, and other institutional operators with recurring food-service needs.
