UNSPSC 50446404: Frozen brandywine tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446404 Frozen brandywine tomatoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows virtually no purchasing of the specific product named. Instead, the recent opportunities clustered around this code reflect institutional and school food service procurement for a much broader range of frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and grocery staples. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas), county and city school districts (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Douglas County, Ben Hill, Rockwood, Fairfax County, Dallas ISD, City of Bridgeport), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and transit or social service agencies. The pattern reflects regular, recurring procurement cycles tied to institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs that operate on annual or multi-year contracts, plus state agency dining and food distribution for correctional facilities and healthcare centers. State departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas appear most frequently as repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations for frozen vegetables, carrots, potatoes, corn, and mixed vegetables issued across the six-month window.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Bulloch, Burke, Early, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Douglas County school districts and the state procurement office), Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, Dallas ISD, Comptroller's office), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with secondary activity in Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026, through OregonBuys) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), both offering 5% preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-resident bidders; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (over 1,100 line items, due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American and HHFKA nutrition standards); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026, Buy American requirements, $25,000–$100,000 certification thresholds); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (76 minimum items required, due April 27, 2026, nationwide evaluation based on price-per-serving calculation). Pricing for institutional frozen vegetables ranges from roughly $0.30 to $0.70 per pound depending on product, pack size, and delivery terms, with firm pricing requirements and quarterly or semi-annual adjustment provisions tied to USDA or CPI benchmarks.
