UNSPSC 50445400: Frozen peas

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

UNSPSC 50445400 Frozen peas, a Class code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The solicitations tagged under this code procure comprehensive food-service commodities—shelf-stable groceries, proteins, frozen vegetables (including but not limited to peas), dairy, prepared entrees, condiments, and consumable supplies—for institutional feeding at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, school districts, and veterans homes. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller's office, Illinois, and Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Early County Board of Education), and state agencies. Texas entities—HHSC, TDCJ, and affiliated programs—account for the heaviest recent activity, followed by Oregon Department of Corrections, with additional solicitations from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey. School districts and state institutional food-service operations dominate the buyer profile.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338V1 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bids due August 18, 2026), estimated at approximately $9 million annually with a maximum potential value of $19 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables including broccoli, assorted blends, corn, and green beans (bids due August 20, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST), with Oregon preferences totaling up to 10 percent; the Gwinnett County informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Burke County Public Schools sealed bid for nearly 400 line items of food and supplies across five schools (bids due June 5, 2026). The code shows active, recurring procurement with tight competitive cycles—most response dates cluster within two to four weeks of posting—and frequent addenda and amendments addressing unit specifications and pricing adjustments. No set-asides by socioeconomic classification appear in recent postings, though Buy American provisions and prevailing wage compliance are standard in school and state institutional procurement.
