UNSPSC 50444703: Frozen coco malanga

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

UNSPSC 50444703 Frozen coco malanga is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity primarily as a placeholder or mislabeling within broader frozen-vegetable and food-service solicitations. The recent opportunities block shows no direct procurement of coco malanga; instead, the code surfaces in correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies that are purchasing frozen corn, frozen assorted vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen potatoes, and other commodity vegetables in bulk for institutional food service. Oregon's Department of Corrections, Texas's Department of Criminal Justice, and state health and human services agencies dominate the issuing bodies in this segment, alongside school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. These jurisdictions are soliciting frozen vegetables as part of larger food-service contracts under ITB, IFB, and RFP notice types, typically in quantities of 40,000 to 400,000 pounds per line item, with delivery to central distribution centers or school warehouses and pricing quoted per pound or per case on an FOB destination basis.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon's Department of Corrections posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables in February through July 2026 (carrots, corn, assorted blends, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and stir-fry blends), with response dates ranging from March 5 through July 24, 2026. Texas's Department of Criminal Justice and Health and Human Services Commission issued overlapping procurements for supplemental and cafeteria food products from February through June 2026, spanning statewide delivery to correctional facilities and supported living centers. Georgia school districts—including Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham—are actively soliciting comprehensive food packages in April and May 2026, with some districts serving 25,000 to 32,000 meals daily. The code itself does not map cleanly to active procurement: frozen coco malanga is not named in any recent opportunity. If pursuing this code, verify the actual commodity need before bidding, as the classification may reflect data entry error or legacy taxonomy usage rather than current demand in state and local food service.
