UNSPSC 50446107: Frozen malabar spinach

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

UNSPSC 50446107 Frozen malabar spinach, a Commodity code, does not show relevant recent procurement activity under this specific product name. The most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities dataset contains no bids tagged to this code that actually solicit frozen malabar spinach; instead, the records posted under this code identifier include solicitations for frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, fresh produce, groceries, cafeteria food products, and school nutrition items—none of which are malabar spinach or closely related leafy green products. State and local procurement offices issuing these records appear to have applied the code inconsistently or as a catch-all placeholder for frozen vegetable procurement without regard to the specific commodity name.

The tagged opportunities do reveal active demand for frozen vegetables more broadly—particularly frozen corn, carrots, assorted vegetable blends, and commodity-mix procurement by state departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas, school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Connecticut, and state health and human services agencies. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple school districts are repeat buyers of frozen vegetables on ITB and IFB terms with response dates typically 14 to 30 days out and firm pricing on FOB Destination, delivery-prepaid terms. However, the consistent absence of any malabar spinach solicitation—either standalone or as a named line item within broader frozen-produce bids—indicates this code assignment does not reflect actual market activity for the specific product. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat the assignment as unreliable and conduct parallel research into frozen-spinach and leafy-green procurement pathways through produce-focused buying groups, school nutrition cooperatives, and state institutional food service contacts before committing resources to pursue opportunities under this code number.
