UNSPSC 50445301: Frozen bambarra groundnut peanuts

The variety of peanuts known as bambarra groundnut peanuts that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445301 Frozen bambarra groundnut peanuts is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen peanut products under this code primarily through food service contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show the actual procurement spans shelf-stable and frozen protein items, breakfast staples, canned goods, and prepared entrees rather than bambarra groundnuts specifically; vendors supplying institutional food service contracts use this code to classify frozen and shelf-stable legume-based products alongside broader food procurement categories. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, county purchasing offices, school districts, and senior services agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Georgia school districts are active repeat buyers under food commodity codes in this family.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New Jersey. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338 for frozen food products to state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (bids due August 18, 2026, approximately $9 million annual volume with maximum potential $19 million over the contract period); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables including assorted blends, corn, and green beans (bids due August 20, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter for senior services (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB 304T-26-300CF covering approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, and staples for warehouse distribution across five geographic areas (bids due May 4, 2026, extended from April 21). Institutional food service procurement under this code typically uses IFB and ITB notice types with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and food safety certifications including HACCP plans and recall procedures.
