UNSPSC 50446417: Frozen roma vf tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446417 Frozen roma VF tomatoes is a Commodity code with limited recent activity directly aligned to its specific scope—state and local governments soliciting under it are actually buying frozen vegetables broadly, not roma tomatoes in particular. The recent opportunities block shows no procurement tagged specifically to this code for frozen roma tomatoes; instead, the data reflect bids for frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, and frozen assorted blends across correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitation activity suggests this particular commodity line sees sparse or inconsistent procurement tagging in state and local systems.

The issuing bodies sourcing frozen vegetables (the broader family) include state departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas, school districts across Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Missouri, and state health and human services agencies. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia school nutrition programs appear as repeat bidders for frozen vegetable products over the past six months. Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia school districts) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Texas and the Mid-Atlantic. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables including frozen products (due July 13, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for frozen and fresh produce (due June 15, 2026). Procurement under this code tier typically involves firm fixed pricing per pound or per case, FOB destination delivery, FDA/USDA compliance, minimum shelf-life requirements (commonly six months), and awards to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Activity is active but disaggregated—no incumbent or dominant vendor emerges across opportunities.
