UNSPSC 50446405: Frozen cherry belle tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446405 Frozen cherry belle tomatoes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect frozen cherry belle tomatoes specifically—instead, they show a broader pattern of frozen vegetable procurement across institutional food service operations. State and local procurement offices are buying frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, assorted blends, mixed vegetables, and specialty items) in bulk volumes for correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. The work is straightforward commodity supply: vendors quote per-pound or per-case pricing on frozen products meeting USDA/FDA standards and specific grade requirements, with delivery FOB destination to central distribution centers or individual facility locations. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions, school districts (Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania), county and municipal correctional facilities, and regional education cooperatives. Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple frozen vegetable solicitations in recent months.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest, with standout recent opportunities from Oregon Department of Corrections (frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen assorted vegetables, frozen carrots via ITB notices with July 2026 response dates), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables statewide via IFB with historical contract value up to $4.5 million over three years), multiple Georgia school districts (Burke County, Bulloch County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County), and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (grocery items via NutriKids format bids in April 2026). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania also solicited frozen or fresh produce in recent months. Pricing in recent awards has ranged from $0.30–$0.70 per pound for frozen vegetables depending on product type and case size, with delivery windows typically 30–45 days and firm pricing periods of 15–60 days post-award. Most school district contracts run July through June and allow for quarterly or semi-annual price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices when third-party documentation supports increases. Buy American provisions and HACCP compliance are standard requirements across school nutrition and institutional food service contracts.
