UNSPSC 50445300: Frozen peanuts

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

UNSPSC 50445300 Frozen peanuts is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with that nominal scope — the vast majority of recent solicitations concern broader frozen vegetable procurement, fresh produce supply, and comprehensive grocery contracts for institutional food service rather than frozen peanuts specifically. The code sees active use in correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies, but the transactions documented reflect diverse frozen and fresh food categories with only incidental overlap to peanuts.

Oregon Department of Corrections dominates recent activity under this code tier, issuing multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (corn, potatoes, assorted blends, carrots) with response dates in late June and early July 2026, all offering Oregon-based vendor preferences of up to ten percent combined. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Virginia account for substantial volume — Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and multiple Texas districts (DISD, Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Schools) have posted food procurement solicitations in April and May 2026 structured as line-item bids or RFPs covering hundreds of product lines with firm pricing through the 2026–2027 contract year. Correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and state health agencies regularly solicit under this space. The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania), Midwest (Missouri), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with sporadic activity in mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Solicitations predominantly use IFB or RFP notices with response windows typically two to four weeks; Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1 million, and firm fixed pricing for the initial term are standard requirements. The code shows sustained procurement activity, but the disconnect between the nominal commodity (frozen peanuts) and actual scope (fresh and frozen produce, comprehensive grocery supply) signals either broad tagging practices or category drift over time.
