UNSPSC 50445701: Frozen acme rutabagas

The variety of rutabagas known as acme rutabagas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445701 Frozen acme rutabagas (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—frozen rutabagas—does not match the procurement records provided. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under or near this code actually solicit frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery supplies for correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. No opportunities in the dataset request frozen rutabagas or acme-branded products specifically. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging anomaly in the source data or that this particular commodity sees minimal procurement volume through state and local channels at present.

Frozen vegetable procurement more broadly—covering carrots, mixed vegetables, corn, and assorted blends—dominates activity instead. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (corn, potatoes, carrots, assorted blends) with response dates in June and July 2026, each soliciting tens of thousands of pounds at per-pound pricing and offering Oregon resident and in-state processing preferences. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) solicited cafeteria food products including frozen specialty entrees and vegetables through an IFB with response deadline of May 4, 2026. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are actively bidding frozen and fresh produce, meats, and grocery staples for nutrition programs—with solicitations from Rockwood R-VI, Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County, Fairfax County Public Schools, the City Schools of Decatur, and others posting through April and June 2026. State agencies including Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois, and New Jersey have issued bids for food and consumable products. If your firm supplies frozen vegetables or institutional food products, monitor ODOC's repeat activity in Oregon and the school district food bids across the Southeast and Midwest, where response dates cluster in April through July 2026 and contract terms typically run July through June with renewal options.
