UNSPSC 50446402: Frozen alicante tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as alicante tomatoes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446402 Frozen alicante tomatoes is a Commodity code that captures frozen specialty vegetable products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, though the recent state and local opportunities demonstrate minimal direct activity under this code and instead reflect broader frozen vegetable procurement across multiple commodity classifications. State and local purchasing under related frozen vegetable codes centers on large-volume institutional buys—frozen carrots, assorted blends, mixed vegetables, corn, and potato products—sourced by correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), school districts and boards of education spanning Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia, county correctional facilities (Pennsylvania, Montgomery County), and regional school cooperatives. Vendors competing in this category supply products meeting USDA and FDA standards with detailed specifications on grade, shelf life, packaging, temperature control, and delivery logistics.

Recent opportunities reflect sustained activity in the frozen vegetable space but not specifically for alicante tomatoes. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued multiple ITBs in July 2026 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds across three truckloads, due July 24) under solicitations S2910000017451 and S2910000017439, with FOB Destination pricing and Oregon preferences of up to ten percent combined for in-state processors and resident bidders. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million and firm fixed unit pricing; the same agency issued HHS0016792V2 for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. School districts across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Virginia solicited comprehensive grocery and frozen food contracts in spring 2026, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Master Grocery K-12, April 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District (grocery items and NOI products, April 2026, electronic submission via NutriKids), and multiple Georgia school boards (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Decatur). Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued two separate correctional facility food bids in February and May 2026. The geographic center of activity spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Alicante tomato solicitations do not appear in the recent opportunity set, suggesting this commodity code sees limited state and local procurement action compared to broader frozen vegetable categories.
