UNSPSC 50444122: Frozen salsify

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

UNSPSC 50444122 Frozen salsify, a Commodity code, nominally covers frozen salsify root vegetables, but recent state and local procurement activity shows the code tags a much broader range of food procurement including fresh produce, eggs, and general food service supplies rather than frozen salsify specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and state health and human services agencies procuring food products and supplies for institutional food service operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and the State of Georgia have all posted opportunities in recent months seeking food and consumable products to support meal service at state-supported living centers, school cafeterias, and other institutional facilities. Issuing bodies include state health departments, state procurement offices coordinating multi-agency food supply, school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school systems.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and contract running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with renewal and extension options; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 (posted January 21, 2026, due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with details contained in the full RFQ document.
