UNSPSC 50444900: Frozen mustards

The type of vegetable known as mustards that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444900 Frozen mustards, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under it. The source includes seventeen recent opportunities spanning frozen vegetables, grocery staples, food service products for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers—none of which represent mustard procurement. The mismatch suggests this code either receives minimal relevant activity or is being misapplied in current solicitation tagging. Among the opportunities actually present, the dominant work involves bulk frozen produce (particularly corn, mixed vegetables, and potatoes), shelf-stable grocery items, and prepared entrees for institutional feeding across correctional and state healthcare settings.

Issuing bodies posting under this code span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services), county governments (Gwinnett County Georgia, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), school districts (Bridgeport, Burke County, Early County in Georgia), and state procurement offices administering on behalf of multiple agencies. Opportunities cluster geographically in Texas (eight solicitations), Oregon (three), Georgia (four), Pennsylvania (two), Illinois (two), and Connecticut (one), with Texas and Georgia showing the highest recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 360,000 pounds of mixed frozen vegetables (August 2026, due August 20), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for approximately $9 million in frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers (July 2026, due August 18), Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable groceries including canned proteins and vegetables (October 2026, due October 19), and Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid for nearly 400 line items of food products spanning proteins, frozen vegetables, and breakfast items for five schools (May 2026, due June 5). Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder, compliance with USDA standards and HACCP requirements, delivery performance, and ability to serve multiple locations on FOB destination terms with embedded transportation costs.
