UNSPSC 50446505: Frozen purple top white turnips

The variety of turnips known as purple top white turnips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446505 Frozen purple top white turnips is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy. However, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of frozen purple top white turnips specifically; instead, they document institutional food service procurement across frozen vegetables broadly (frozen corn, carrots, assorted blends, mixed vegetables), fresh produce, grocery staples, and comprehensive food supply contracts for correctional facilities, school districts, and social service agencies. The code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity show a significant mismatch. State and local buyers use codes in this family to tag food-service RFPs and ITBs that span dozens or hundreds of line items—many frozen vegetable types, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and paper goods—rather than single-commodity purchases.

Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and municipal school districts, city education boards, county correctional facilities, and special-purpose school nutrition programs across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears multiple times with recent frozen-vegetable solicitations (ITBs for corn, potatoes, carrots, and assorted blends posted July and April 2026). School districts dominate the recent activity—Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and others—all seeking annual food-supply contracts under federal nutrition programs with Buy American and HACCP compliance requirements. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple solicitations for food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers, with estimated values reaching $4.5 million over three years. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued a cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two regions with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections Vegetables Frozen Corn ITB (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026, 40,000 pounds at prior pricing of $0.498 per pound), the Texas HHSC Food and Consumable Products IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, prior annual value $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens), and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Grocery Items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, 1,100+ line items with Buy American and school nutrition compliance). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Connecticut, and Illinois. No recent frozen purple top white turnips–specific opportunities appear in the dataset; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its narrow commodity definition.
