UNSPSC 50446800: Frozen nominant vegetables

Vegetable types that belong to no other class and have no other vegetable commodities related to them that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446800 Frozen nominant vegetables is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of frozen vegetable products — primarily carrots, corn, mixed vegetables, and assorted blends — for institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts. Recent solicitations show agencies purchasing truckload quantities (typically 40,000 to 120,000 pounds per line item) of FDA/USDA-compliant frozen vegetables with minimum six-month shelf life, delivered FOB destination to central warehouses or distribution centers on 30- to 45-day lead times. Issuing bodies are predominantly state corrections and health agencies, county and municipal correctional facilities, and school districts across the South and Pacific Northwest. Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for frozen carrots, corn, and assorted blends in recent months; Texas Health and Human Services Commission and school nutrition programs in Georgia and Missouri also show sustained activity under this code.

Recent activity clusters in Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Missouri. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITBs for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026), both through the OregonBuys system with 5 to 10 percent state-vendor preferences; prior purchases reference pricing of $0.498 per pound for corn and $0.3811 per pound for potatoes from Alpine Food and JNS Foods. Texas Health and Human Services Commission's El Paso State Supported Living Center solicited supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued an IFB for groceries and meats including frozen items (due July 1, 2026 for a 13-week period July–October 2026). School districts in Georgia, Missouri, and elsewhere regularly bid frozen vegetables as part of broader school nutrition procurements. Pricing generally ranges from $0.35 to $0.70 per pound depending on product type and case size; bidders should verify packaging (12/2 lb. bags, 20-pound cases, truckload specifications) and temperature-maintenance requirements (0°F or below for frozen goods, 30-day to 45-day delivery windows). No protests permitted on Oregon correctional procurements; Buy American and domestic-sourcing preferences apply to school district solicitations.
