UNSPSC 50446420: Frozen siberia tomato tomatoes

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

UNSPSC 50446420 Frozen siberia tomato tomatoes, a Commodity code, describes frozen tomato products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and school districts. However, recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show minimal activity directly aligned with frozen tomatoes; instead, the opportunities reflect a much broader pattern of frozen vegetable procurement spanning frozen corn, assorted blends, carrots, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, and mixed vegetables. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon DOC, Texas DOC), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Texas Department of State Health Services), school districts (Decatur City Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Ben Hill County, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and municipal education procurement (Bridgeport Board of Education). The code sees active solicitation across a wide geographic span—Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate recent postings, with Oregon and Texas showing the heaviest volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026, at $0.498 per pound historical pricing) and frozen assorted vegetables (120,000 pounds of carrots, 80,000 pounds of blends, due March and April 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including frozen specialty entrees across multiple warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (maximum value $4,500,000 over three years). School nutrition programs represent a significant buyer segment, with Fairfax County Public Schools soliciting master grocery K-12 supply (due April 27, 2026), the City Schools of Decatur seeking frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), and multiple Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Ben Hill County) issuing annual nutrition bids. Pricing across recent frozen vegetable solicitations ranges from $0.30 to $0.70 per pound depending on product type and packaging, with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with FDA/USDA standards and minimum six-month shelf life requirements, and state preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods (5% preference for processing location and 5% for in-state residency in Oregon procurements) or domestic sourcing under Buy American provisions in school nutrition programs.

Activity under the code is robust and sustained, driven by ongoing institutional food service demand across correctional, healthcare, and education sectors, with opportunities clustered in tight 30- to 60-day response windows and competitive pressure favoring vendors with established compliance certifications, recall management capability, temperature-controlled logistics, and ability to meet detailed FDA/USDA grade and shelf-life specifications.
