UNSPSC 50446000: Frozen sorrels

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

UNSPSC 50446000 Frozen sorrels, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope—frozen sorrel vegetables—is narrowly specialized and does not match the frozen vegetable and grocery solicitations currently posted across state and local issuing bodies. Instead, procurement officers are buying frozen corn, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen potatoes, and broad grocery assortments that span proteins, dairy, produce, and dry goods for institutional food service. The absence of sorrel-specific demand in the dataset does not indicate future procurement intent; it reflects what state and local purchasing offices are actually soliciting today.

Recent activity under related frozen-vegetable codes shows consistent demand across correctional facilities, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county governments. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (corn, assorted blends, carrots, and potatoes) with response dates in late June and July 2026, offering Oregon fabrication and resident-bidder preferences worth up to ten percent combined. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued IFBs for supplemental food and cafeteria products spanning frozen items and multiple commodity categories, with historical contract values reaching $4.5 million over three-year periods. School districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas are actively bidding fresh and frozen produce, groceries, and prepared foods under annual contracts with renewal options, typically emphasizing Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri, with scattered activity in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Connecticut, Illinois, and New Jersey. The code itself sees no recent opportunities; firms tracking frozen-produce categories should monitor the broader Class codes for mixed vegetables, carrots, and potatoes instead.
