UNSPSC 50446411: Frozen green tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446411 Frozen green tomatoes is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely solicit this specific item; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations matching frozen green tomatoes. The code shows little relevant recent activity. A review of the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities reveals that state and local procurement under related frozen-vegetable codes emphasizes mixed frozen vegetables, corn, assorted vegetable blends, and potatoes rather than the frozen green tomato product this code nominates. Solicitations for frozen vegetables typically originate from corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs, but those opportunities uniformly specify other frozen vegetable products—mixed varieties, corn, green beans, broccoli, potatoes—with no mention of frozen green tomatoes as a line item or acceptable substitute.

The geographic and issuing-body pattern across related frozen-vegetable procurement shows activity concentrated in Texas (health and human services, criminal justice), Oregon (corrections), Georgia (school districts), Pennsylvania (corrections), Illinois (veterans facilities), and Connecticut (school districts). Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen-vegetable solicitations under ITB with Oregon-resident and Oregon-fabricated preferences; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issues large institutional food procurements covering state hospitals and supported-living centers; school districts in Georgia and Connecticut solicit comprehensive food bids under USDA Buy American and nutrition-compliance frameworks. Within that landscape, frozen green tomatoes do not surface as a requested commodity or approved equivalent in any recent posting. Vendors pursuing this code should verify with issuing procurement offices whether frozen green tomatoes are acceptable line items or substitutes within broader frozen-vegetable or institutional-food categories, as the absence of specific solicitation activity suggests limited current demand or possible miscoding of opportunities in procurement systems.
