UNSPSC 50446419: Frozen shirley tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446419 Frozen shirley tomatoes (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The most recent opportunities posted against this UNSPSC designation involve frozen corn, frozen potato products, fresh produce, grocery staples, and supplemental food and consumable products—none of which reference shirley tomatoes specifically. State and local procurement offices are issuing ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs for broad frozen vegetable categories and comprehensive food service contracts, but the itemization of "frozen shirley tomatoes" as a discrete commodity does not surface in any recent solicitation. The code's nominal scope appears disconnected from actual buying patterns, suggesting either a classification mismatch or that this specific product line is not currently a discrete procurement target among state departments, county governments, school districts, and state supported living centers.

The mismatch is illustrative: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school systems, and Montgomery County Correctional Facility are all actively procuring frozen vegetables—but under broader frozen-vegetable specifications that bundle assorted varieties, carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, and commodity blends rather than single-variety shirley tomatoes. No recent opportunity identifies shirley tomatoes as a line item, brand, or required specification. A firm pursuing this code should verify the UNSPSC classification with procurement offices directly and confirm whether shirley tomatoes appear in any active requirements, or consider repositioning around the broader frozen-vegetable family codes where actual state and local activity is concentrating.
