UNSPSC 50446808: Frozen bamboo shoots

The type of vegetable known as bamboo shoots that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446808 Frozen bamboo shoots is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity among state and local procurement offices. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen bamboo shoots specifically; instead, it shows widespread purchasing of frozen vegetables more broadly—frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and mixed frozen vegetables—across correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies. While frozen bamboo shoots fall within the larger family of frozen vegetable procurement, the code sees no current state or local traction.

Issuing bodies purchasing frozen vegetables include the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple ITBs for corn, potatoes, and assorted blends in July 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Virginia, and Connecticut, and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania and Montgomery County. The geographic spread of frozen vegetable activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, with school nutrition programs and institutional food service driving most demand. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017451 for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn due July 24, 2026 (pricing reference: $0.498 per pound from August 2025), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including frozen items for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026. No solicitations for frozen bamboo shoots appear in the dataset; vendors should monitor state and local procurement portals in jurisdictions with large institutional feeding operations if pursuing this commodity.
