UNSPSC 50444901: Frozen bamboo mustard

The variety of mustard known as bamboo mustard that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50444901 Frozen bamboo mustard is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single frozen vegetable product, but the recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations for frozen bamboo mustard; instead, state and local food service procurement under related frozen-vegetable codes targets broader commodity categories including frozen corn, mixed vegetables, assorted blends, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, stir-fry blends, and peas. The issuing bodies acquiring frozen vegetables are correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania), school districts and school food authorities across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas, state health and human services commissions procuring for state hospitals and supported living centers, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts. These entities solicit frozen vegetables through ITBs and IFBs with response dates typically ranging from two to eight weeks out.

Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple recent frozen-vegetable ITBs including S2910000017451 (frozen corn, due July 24, 2026) and S2910000016558 and S2910000016589 (assorted frozen vegetables and carrots, due April 22–23, 2026), establishing a pattern of regular commodity procurement for institutional food service. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and school districts across Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur) and other states have posted overlapping frozen-food and produce solicitations from February through July 2026. The geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia, South Carolina) and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Virginia. No recent opportunities specifically name frozen bamboo mustard; the code shows little relevant recent activity, and state and local procurement under frozen-vegetable categories focuses on commodity staples rather than specialty or regional items.
