UNSPSC 50446506: Frozen snowball turnips

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

UNSPSC 50446506 Frozen snowball turnips is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—a specific frozen vegetable product—does not appear in any of the twelve recent opportunities posted under this code. Instead, those opportunities uniformly solicit broad-based food procurement for institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers, encompassing hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, grains, fresh and frozen produce, condiments, and disposables. The UNSPSC classification appears misapplied to the actual work being bought. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Human Services, New Jersey Department of Human Services, State of Georgia), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Recent opportunities span August through June 2026, with the most recent activity in October 2026—Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017692 for 360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables (broccoli, assorted blends, corn, green beans) due August 20, 2026; and Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with bids due August 18, 2026. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New Jersey. None of these opportunities target frozen snowball turnips specifically, making this code a poor targeting vehicle for vendors pursuing institutional food supply contracts in this category.
