UNSPSC 50444114: Frozen mint

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

UNSPSC 50444114 Frozen mint is a Commodity code that covers frozen mint products purchased by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity shows that frozen mint itself is not the primary procurement driver under this code. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are buying broad food and consumable product categories — including produce, eggs, staple items, and kitchen supplies — through solicitations nominally tagged to this and related food commodity codes. The scope of work encompasses food service supply contracts for state facilities, school districts, and institutional dining operations, with pricing structured around firm fixed unit rates or cost-plus-fixed-fee models tied to market indexes such as USDA terminal wholesale prices or the Consumer Price Index. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state procurement offices, county school systems, and cooperative purchasing consortia; school districts appear as repeat solicitors in the recent activity.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia. Recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical spend of $1.5 million annually; the State of Georgia's food supplies and kitchen products solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026; and two Douglas County School System RFPs issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative—SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (due March 4, 2026), and SN26-003 for food supply and distribution services to serve approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million (due February 18, 2026). The code shows limited recent activity explicitly tied to frozen mint; opportunities focus instead on broader food procurement categories where frozen mint may be a minor line item rather than the primary purchase driver.
