UNSPSC 50446412: Frozen marmande super tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446412 Frozen marmande super tomatoes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments actually buy under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code consistently show procurement of frozen mixed vegetables, frozen corn, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and frozen potato products—standard institutional frozen vegetable commodities for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers—rather than the marmande-tomato-specific product named in the code itself. State and local buyers use this code (and its Family and Class predecessors) to source high-volume frozen vegetable staples, delivered FOB destination in bulk quantities measured in thousands of pounds per order, with firm pricing quoted per pound or per case, six-month minimum shelf life, FDA/USDA Grade A or B compliance, and delivery windows of 30 to 45 days after order receipt. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), independent school districts (Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Douglas County Schools, and multiple Georgia school systems), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multi-district consortia. Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer with multiple frozen-vegetable ITBs in the recent window.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the South and Southwest—Texas (TDCJ, HHSC, multiple school districts), Georgia (early County Schools, Burke County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and Oregon (ODOC)—with activity also in Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), Missouri (Rockwood), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Illinois, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen whole-kernel corn, bids due July 24, 2026, with a historical reference price of $0.498 per pound and Oregon vendor preferences totaling up to ten percent; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, proposals due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million and pricing submitted as firm fixed unit rates. School district food bids dominate recent volume—multi-hundred-line-item solicitations with delivery to dozens of schools, firm pricing for initial contract periods (often 30 to 60 days post-award), quarterly or six-month escalation provisions tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks, and Buy American requirements for domestic agricultural content above fifty percent.
