UNSPSC 50446102: Frozen bloomsdale spinach

The variety of spinach known as bloomsdale spinach that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446102 Frozen bloomsdale spinach, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific product scope. Recent opportunities tagged under this code show instead a broad pattern of frozen vegetable procurement across multiple varieties and institutional food service contexts, with the actual buying focused on mixed frozen vegetable assortments, carrots, corn, and potato products for correctional facilities, school districts, and other state-operated institutions rather than bloomsdale spinach specifically.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting frozen vegetables span correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Dallas Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables in recent months—carrots, corn, assorted blends, and mixed vegetables—with response dates between February and July 2026, typically through the OREGONBUYS portal with five and ten percent Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences available. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut solicit frozen and fresh produce on annual cycles for the July-through-June school year, predominantly through RFPs and IFBs with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP plan requirements, and contract terms running one year with renewal or extension options. The Texas HHSC and Department of State Health Services jointly procure frozen and supplemental food products for state hospitals and state supported living centers across multiple locations, with historical contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, with school districts and correctional facilities as primary institutional buyers. The code shows no current bloomsdale spinach–specific solicitations; vendors pursuing this code should monitor Oregon ODOC, Texas HHSC, and major school district nutrition programs for frozen vegetable bundles that may include spinach varieties, but recent activity does not support bloomsdale spinach as a standalone commodity focus in state and local procurement at present.
