UNSPSC 50445609: Cocktail frozen potatoes

Variety of potatoes of smaller sizes known as cocktail potatoes which have been frozen to be preserved.

UNSPSC 50445609 Cocktail frozen potatoes (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The code nominally identifies a single processed frozen-potato product line, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this designation span frozen corn, assorted frozen vegetables, fresh produce, comprehensive school nutrition grocery programs, supplemental food and consumables for state institutions, cafeteria entrees, and bread products—none of which constitute cocktail frozen potatoes as a discrete commodity. The mismatch between the code's definition and actual procurement activity suggests either inconsistent taxonomy application by issuing bodies or that cocktail frozen potatoes represent a minor subset within broader frozen-food and grocery contracts that are coded at higher taxonomic levels.

The sourced opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, State of New Jersey), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District, Bulloch County Board of Education), county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), municipalities (City of Bridgeport), and transit authorities. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and New Jersey. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, historical value $4.5 million over three years), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (multiple food categories across 45 schools, contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027). Buyers in this space emphasize USDA and FDA compliance, HACCP plans, food recall accessibility, Buy American provisions, firm pricing with limited escalation provisions, and comprehensive liability insurance requirements. The code does not currently support a pursue strategy; the taxonomy misalignment and absence of actual cocktail frozen-potato solicitations indicate this designation is either dormant or incorrectly applied by procurement offices.
