UNSPSC 50446806: Frozen arugula

The type of vegetable known as arugula that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446806 Frozen arugula is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows no recent relevant solicitations. The recent opportunities tagged to this code in the source material name frozen corn, frozen potatoes, fresh produce, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen assorted vegetables, groceries spanning multiple categories, and food and consumable products for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers—none of which represent arugula procurement. The code's nominal scope does not align with the work actually being solicited in the posted opportunities, indicating either a systematic tagging mismatch in the source data or minimal direct activity for frozen arugula at the state and local level.

The broader frozen-vegetable and food-service procurement activity visible in the source reflects substantial recurring demand from institutional buyers including state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), school districts (Fairfax County, Dallas ISD, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur, Early County, Bulloch County, Burke County), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS, New Jersey DSS), and county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania). Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers issuing ITBs and IFBs for frozen vegetables, meats, dairy, and dry goods on quarterly or annual cycles. Recent solicitations posted between February and July 2026 span Oregon (frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen assorted vegetables), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria foods, state hospitals, correctional facilities), Georgia (school nutrition bids), Connecticut (school board grocery procurement), Pennsylvania (county corrections), Missouri (school district grocery and NOI products), and Illinois (weekly food orders). Pricing in recent ODOC awards for frozen carrots ranges from $0.398 to $0.42 per pound; frozen corn at $0.498 per pound; and frozen potatoes at $0.3811 per pound, with delivery windows of 30 to 45 days and FOB destination terms standard. School districts emphasize Buy American compliance (domestic agricultural content ≥51%), HACCP certification, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and firm pricing for initial contract periods (15–365 days) with subsequent adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
