UNSPSC 50444119: Frozen recao

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

UNSPSC 50444119 Frozen cacao, a Commodity code, addresses frozen cacao products and related items procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations under this code show broader food and consumable procurement spanning multiple product categories. State and local issuing bodies—principally health and human services agencies and state procurement offices—use this code to solicit food products, supplies, and kitchen items for residential facilities, dining operations, and food-service programs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia have posted recent opportunities, indicating that state-level health, human services, and general services procurement offices are the primary buyers under this code. Work being solicited includes firm, fixed-unit pricing for food and consumable products delivered to institutional locations, with historical spending guidance (Texas's prior-period volume was $1.5 million) but no guaranteed order volumes.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, seeking food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the scope covers food service, supply services, and on-campus programs with pricing submitted on a firm, fixed-unit-rate basis. The State of Georgia posted solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026, requesting food, supplies, and other kitchen products with responses due June 22, 2026. Both opportunities emphasize delivery reliability, vendor performance history, and best-value award criteria rather than lowest price alone. No HUB set-asides or subcontracting plans were mandated in the Texas opportunity.
