UNSPSC 50445804: Frozen haricot vert de mer

The variety of sea vegetables known as haricot vert de mer that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445804 Frozen haricot vert de mer is a Commodity code with little recent activity directly matching its nominal scope; state and local governments soliciting under this code in the past six months are actually buying broader frozen vegetable assortments, frozen commodity vegetables for institutional foodservice (carrots, mixed vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, green beans), and frozen specialty items as part of larger school nutrition and correctional facility procurement packages. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas), school districts and boards of education (Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Pennsylvania, Connecticut), and county government. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear repeatedly as high-volume institutional buyers. Work solicited under the code typically involves sealed competitive bids (ITB, IFB, RFP) for commodity frozen vegetables delivered FOB destination to central distribution or warehouse locations, with firm fixed pricing per pound or per case, compliance with FDA/USDA grade standards and HACCP food safety protocols, and delivery windows of 30 to 45 days after purchase order issuance.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts dominate the recent opportunities), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, Dallas ISD), Oregon (ODOC), and scattered Midwest and Mid-Atlantic solicitations (Missouri, Pennsylvania, Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division issuing ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen corn due July 24, 2026, priced at $0.498 per pound on the prior August 2025 purchase; Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017439 for 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots) due July 24, 2026, awarded previously to JNS Foods at $0.3811 per pound; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period. All major solicitations require proof of commercial general liability insurance ($1 million minimum per occurrence), compliance with state procurement preferences where applicable (Oregon offers 5% preference for in-state goods and 5% for Oregon-headquartered bidders), and adherence to firm fixed pricing for the initial contract term with adjustments permitted only at renewal based on market indices (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Consumer Price Index) or manufacturer price increases.
