UNSPSC 50445811: Frozen sea kale

The variety of sea vegetables known as sea kale that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50445811 Frozen sea kale (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code describe frozen vegetables (corn, carrots, assorted blends, mixed vegetables), fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food service procurement for correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies—none of which address frozen sea kale specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the commodity name and the actual scope of posted solicitations suggests either misclassification in the source data or that frozen sea kale itself is not a current procurement focus in state and local markets.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Transportation, Georgia and New Jersey state agencies), county governments (Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Bulloch County Georgia, Burke County Georgia), municipalities (City of Bridgeport Connecticut, City Schools of Decatur Georgia), school districts (Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools), and a regional cooperative (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative). Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, with additional solicitations in Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and New Jersey. Representative recent frozen vegetable procurement includes the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items including frozen specialty foods, due March 19, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (45 schools plus distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined across both areas).
