UNSPSC 50446502: Frozen golden ball turnips

The variety of turnips known as golden ball turnips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446502 Frozen golden ball turnips is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Of the twenty-three state and local opportunities posted in the past six months, none target frozen golden ball turnips specifically. The opportunities instead span broader frozen-vegetable categories—frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen assorted vegetables, and mixed frozen-vegetable blends—purchased by correctional departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies. State and local buyers under this code family source frozen vegetables as staple items for institutional food service, typically specifying USDA/FDA compliance, minimum shelf life (six months at minimum), FOB destination delivery, and firm per-unit pricing inclusive of all transportation and fuel. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and various school nutrition programs dominate recent procurement activity, with volumes ranging from 40,000 pounds (single truckload) to 400,000 pounds across multiple line items per contract.

Issuing bodies span correctional facilities (Oregon ODOC, Texas TDCJ, Pennsylvania county jails), school districts (Fairfax County Virginia, City Schools of Decatur Georgia, Bulloch County Georgia, Burke County Georgia, Rockwood Missouri, Dallas ISD), and health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois state food programs). Oregon Department of Corrections appears most frequently, posting multiple frozen-vegetable ITBs in recent months. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and the upper Midwest; recent activity also appears in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (40,000 pounds frozen corn, due July 24, 2026) and ITB S2910000017439 (120,000 pounds frozen potato products, due July 24, 2026), both posted July 10, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026); and New Jersey Department of Human Services partial rebid T1103 26DPP01307 (frozen mixed vegetables in 12/2-pound bags, due June 17, 2026). The code itself—frozen golden ball turnips—does not appear in any posted solicitation; buyers source common frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, peas, broccoli, potatoes) at volumes and price points typical of institutional food service rather than specialty or branded produce lines.
