UNSPSC 50446501: Frozen green globe turnips

The variety of turnips known as green globe turnips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446501 Frozen green globe turnips, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity under its specific nomenclature in recent state and local solicitations; the actual buying in this category spans institutional food service for corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and social service agencies purchasing frozen vegetables as part of broader grocery and food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items. State and local issuing bodies acquiring frozen vegetables include county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas), school districts (Georgia, Connecticut), and state veterans' homes (Illinois), with purchases typically embedded within comprehensive food-service RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs that bundle frozen produce with proteins, dairy, dry goods, and paper products. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with Texas and Oregon showing the highest frequency of frozen-vegetable solicitations across multiple state agencies and correctional institutions.

Representative recent opportunities show frozen vegetables consistently appearing as line items within larger food procurements rather than as standalone commodity buys. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division posted an ITB (S2910000017692) on August 6, 2026, requesting 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables—including broccoli, corn, green beans, and assorted blends—for delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, with pricing between $0.578 and $0.67 per pound and bids due August 20, 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017338 on July 17, 2026, for 106 line items of frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers, with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential value of $19 million over the full contract period, bids due August 18, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procured approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response deadline May 4, 2026), with frozen vegetables specified alongside proteins and other staples on FOB destination terms to TDCJ distribution points. Buyers emphasize FDA/USDA compliance, HACCP certification, specific temperature ranges (typically 0 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit at delivery with minimum six-month shelf life), palletization standards, and competitive per-pound or per-case unit pricing, with state and local preferences (Oregon's 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and 5 percent resident-bidder preferences noted) influencing award decisions.
