UNSPSC 50444123: Frozen savory

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

UNSPSC 50444123 Frozen savory, a Commodity-level code, captures frozen prepared entrees and side dishes that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service — principally school districts, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and other congregate-dining operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing departments buying frozen proteins, vegetables, prepared meals, and related frozen staples for high-volume daily feeding operations, typically through competitive sealed bids or RFPs that emphasize firm fixed pricing, documented supplier relationships, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and food safety standards. Issuing bodies include state health agencies, county and independent school districts, and school-system cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple districts to achieve volume discounts and standardized menu compliance.

Georgia and Texas dominate recent activity under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products supporting the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million and responses due July 13, 2026. The State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with a June 22, 2026 deadline. The Douglas County School System in Georgia, working through the GEC Buying Cooperative, issued RFP SN 26-004 in February 2026 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (Area One $4.4 million, Area Two $1.1 million) and responses due March 4, 2026. The same school system also issued RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services with approximately $9 million annual expenditure, responses due February 18, 2026. All recent solicitations emphasize firm, fixed unit-rate pricing, multi-year terms with automatic renewal provisions, and evaluation weighted toward demonstrated experience, operational capability, and competitive pricing rather than low-bid award.
