UNSPSC 50446416: Frozen red alert tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446416 Frozen red alert tomatoes is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local opportunities in the source material. The solicitations tagged under this code procure frozen vegetables broadly—frozen corn, frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots), frozen mixed vegetables, and frozen assorted blends containing carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, and stir-fry mixes—but frozen red alert tomatoes do not appear in any of the posted opportunities. State and local procurement under the nominal code scope remains unobserved in the current dataset. The issuing bodies pursuing frozen vegetable contracts span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Innovations and Technology), county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Douglas County, Georgia), municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; City Schools of Decatur, Georgia), independent school districts (Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and regional school networks in Georgia, Missouri, and elsewhere), and transit or state-supported facilities. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas agencies appear as repeat solicitors.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), the South (Texas, Georgia, and surrounding states), the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Connecticut), and the Upper Midwest (Missouri and Illinois), with school nutrition programs in Georgia showing particularly dense recent solicitation. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including frozen vegetables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering frozen products among 1,100+ line items (due April 27, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and actual recent procurement activity suggests either miscoding by state and local procurement offices or absence of genuine market demand for frozen red alert tomatoes specifically in the state and local space during this period.
