UNSPSC 50444201: Frozen curly kale

The variety of kale known as curly kale that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444201 Frozen curly kale (Commodity) does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen curly kale. Instead, the tagged opportunities span frozen corn, frozen potatoes, comprehensive grocery bids across multiple categories (frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments), school nutrition programs, and institutional food service for corrections facilities, state supported living centers, and school districts. The code name and actual buying patterns diverge sharply, indicating either a data-tagging error or minimal recent market activity under this specific commodity classification.

State and local issuing bodies—Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Bridgeport schools, multiple Georgia school districts, Fairfax County Public Schools, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Department of Human Services—procure frozen vegetables broadly (corn, carrots, mixed blends, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, assorted varieties) through ITBs and IFBs with response windows of two to eight weeks. No recent sealed bids, RFPs, or requests for quotations name frozen curly kale as a line item, and no vendor has been awarded or bid on this specific commodity in the opportunities shown. The broader frozen-vegetable market sees regular activity across Oregon (multiple ODOC solicitations), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC facilities), and school districts nationwide, but curly kale remains absent from all posted solicitations as of mid-July 2026.
