UNSPSC 50446112: Frozen sigmaleaf spinach

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

UNSPSC 50446112 Frozen sigmaleaf spinach is a Commodity code that names a single frozen vegetable product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent opportunities matching the product name. The most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span a much broader range of frozen and fresh vegetables, processed groceries, and food service items for correctional facilities, school districts, state agencies, and county governments. The source includes solicitations for frozen corn, frozen potato products, assorted frozen vegetables, fresh produce, and comprehensive grocery procurement spanning hundreds of line items—none of which are specific to sigmaleaf spinach. When a code's nominal scope and recent buying activity diverge this sharply, the code either sits dormant pending the next procurement cycle or state and local procurement offices tag opportunities with codes that do not match the actual goods being solicited.

State and local issuing bodies active in frozen vegetable procurement include correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Pennsylvania Correctional Facility), school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County Schools Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia, Early County Schools Georgia, Burke County Schools Georgia, Bulloch County Schools Georgia, Rockwood R-VI Schools Missouri), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), city procurement offices (Bridgeport Connecticut), and county governments (Douglas County Georgia). The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a frequent buyer, with multiple recent ITB solicitations for frozen vegetables in quantities of 80,000 to 400,000 pounds per commodity. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, school districts), Oregon (ODOC), and secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) at historical pricing of $0.498 per pound, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (historical contract value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools (due April 27, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products including fresh and frozen produce (due June 15, 2026, Buy American Act applies). Buyers consistently specify FDA/USDA compliance, HACCP plans, minimum shelf life (typically six months for frozen products), detailed nutritional labeling, and FOB Destination pricing with prepaid freight. The code itself shows no current momentum; if your firm pursues frozen vegetable supply to state or local institutions, monitor individual jurisdictions' procurement calendars rather than expecting volume under this specific code designation.
