UNSPSC 50446400: Frozen tomatoes

The type of vegetable known as tomatoes that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446400 Frozen tomatoes is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of frozen vegetable products—principally frozen tomatoes and related frozen vegetable assortments—for institutional feeding, food service, and nutrition assistance programs operated by state agencies, county governments, municipalities, school districts, and correctional facilities. State and local buyers source frozen vegetables as commodity food items to support cafeteria operations, inmate feeding, senior services, and state-supported living centers, typically bundled within broader grocery or food service contracts rather than as standalone tomato-specific line items.

Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Illinois, Texas), school districts (Georgia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania), counties (Gwinnett County Georgia, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), and state facilities (state hospitals, state supported living centers). Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Midwest, with notably active procurement from Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Georgia school nutrition programs. Representative recent solicitations include: Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables including broccoli, corn, and green beans due August 20, 2026 with a 5 percent Oregon-goods preference and 5 percent resident-bidder preference; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million, bids due August 18, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and canned food items including vegetables, due October 19, 2026. School district nutrition programs in Georgia (Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education) posted food procurement bids in May and June 2026 spanning hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, and canned produce with Buy American compliance requirements and USDA nutrition standards.
