UNSPSC 50446114: Frozen trinidad spinach

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

UNSPSC 50446114 Frozen trinidad spinach is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line, but state and local governments soliciting under this specific code are not evident in recent procurement activity. Instead, the recent opportunities block shows substantial state and local purchasing of frozen vegetables more broadly—frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen assorted blends, and frozen carrots—across correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state institutional food service operations. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with the range of frozen-vegetable procurements actually posted. State and local buyers are predominantly correctional departments, school nutrition programs (K–12 and institutional), state health and human services commissions, and county boards of education. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables posted in the past six months. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and others.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, South Carolina), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and scattered Mid-Atlantic and Midwest jurisdictions (Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia). Oregon's Department of Corrections has posted at least five frozen-vegetable ITBs since February 2026, with response dates ranging from early March through late July 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn, due July 24, 2026 (posted July 10, 2026), with Oregon offering 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 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026 (posted June 11, 2026); and the Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products, including frozen vegetables, due June 15, 2026 (posted May 19, 2026). Opportunities frequently emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, nutrition standards including whole grains and low sodium, and bulk delivery to institutional central warehouses or multiple school sites. Pricing is typically submitted per unit or per pound on a firm, fixed basis, with delivery FOB destination and all transportation prepaid by the vendor. Most school-district procurements are part of multi-year annual contracts running July through June, with renewal or extension options, and many require Buy American compliance tied to federal school meal funding.
