UNSPSC 50446002: Frozen garden sorrel

The variety of sorrel known as garden sorrel that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446002 Frozen garden sorrel (Commodity) does not align with the recent solicitation activity posted under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited under 50446002 overwhelmingly involve frozen vegetables and grocery staples—frozen corn, frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots), frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, and frozen assorted blends—procured by state departments of corrections, school districts, and other institutional food service operations. State and local governments use this code family to tag frozen vegetable commodity purchases across multiple categories and delivery models, ranging from single-item line procurements to comprehensive multi-category grocery bids. Issuing bodies span state correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Texas, state health and human services agencies supplying institutional care facilities, county correctional systems, and municipal school districts. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables in recent months.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West, with the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Georgia school systems (including Bulloch County, Early County, Burke County, City Schools of Decatur, and Savannah-Chatham County), and Virginia's Fairfax County Public Schools posting solicitations since late January 2026. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), both offering a combined ten percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million); and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (sealed bids due April 27, 2026) covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Pricing in recent awards has ranged from $0.30 to $0.67 per pound depending on vegetable type and case size, with most awards requiring FOB Destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, minimum six-month shelf life, and compliance with FDA/USDA standards and HACCP regulations.
