UNSPSC 50446409: Frozen gardener's delight tomatoes

The variety of tomatoes known as gardener's delight tomatoes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446409 Frozen gardener's delight tomatoes is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual products state and local governments are buying under codes in this family. The recent opportunities in the source show no solicitations tagged to 50446409 itself; instead, issuing bodies are procuring frozen vegetables generically—carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, assorted blends, and other staple frozen produce for correctional facilities, school districts, state hospitals, and supported living centers. The code's nominal "gardener's delight tomatoes" name bears no relation to the work actually being solicited, which spans commodity frozen-vegetable supply contracts supporting institutional food service across multiple facility types.

Oregon Department of Corrections dominates recent activity, posting five separate ITBs between February and July 2026 for frozen carrots, corn, assorted blends, and mixed vegetables, each 30,000–400,000 pounds annually, with delivery to its Central Distribution Center in Salem and Oregon preferences of up to 10 percent combined (5 percent for Oregon-processed goods, 5 percent for Oregon-based bidders). Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Early County, Burke County, Bulloch County, City Schools of Decatur, Douglas County), Montgomery County Pennsylvania Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services, and Illinois state procurement round out the issuing-body mix, along with city and county school systems nationwide. Most opportunities are ITBs or IFBs with response deadlines ranging from mid-April through July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia, with scattered activity in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut. Historical pricing for frozen carrots ranges from $0.398 to $0.42 per pound; corn at $0.498 per pound; and mixed vegetables at $0.3811 to $0.665 per pound, with Oregon preferences and USDA/FDA compliance mandatory across all solicitations.
