UNSPSC 50446500: Frozen turnip greens

The type of vegetable known as turnip greens that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446500 Frozen turnip greens is a Class code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The single frozen-vegetable commodity designation does not align with the broad institutional food procurement activity posted over the past five months, which spans frozen vegetable assortments, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, prepared entrees, and consumable supplies across school districts, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and human services agencies.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of corrections and health and human services agencies, school districts, and county governments, with repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia and Texas school districts. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338V1 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (bids due August 18, 2026, estimated annual volume approximately $9 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables including broccoli, corn, and green beans, delivery FOB destination to Salem (bids due August 20, 2026); the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products under Buy American Act requirements (due June 15, 2026, contract runs July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027).
