UNSPSC 50444701: Frozen amarilla malanga

The variety of malanga known as amarilla malanga that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444701 Frozen amarilla malanga is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reveal minimal alignment with the specific product named. State and local governments are actively procuring frozen vegetables—carrots, corn, mixed assortments, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, and stir-fry blends—but the available records show no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen amarilla malanga or yuca-family products. The code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being bought in the posted opportunities; procurement activity under this code appears sparse or mislabeled at the commodity level.

Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), state school districts in Georgia and Missouri, and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and Montgomery County are the primary issuing bodies appearing in the recent record, spanning institutional food service for corrections, state hospitals, and K–12 nutrition programs. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with school districts and state agencies across multiple regions issuing overlapping frozen-vegetable solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn due July 24, 2026 (ITB, $0.498 per pound reference pricing from prior award); TDCJ's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including frozen entrees, with response due May 4, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products servicing state supported living centers, due July 13, 2026 with historical value of $1.5 million annually. The code shows substantive procurement volume in institutional food service but lacks recent commodity-specific solicitations for the frozen malanga product itself.
