UNSPSC 50446810: Frozen batatas

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

UNSPSC 50446810 Frozen batatas (Commodity) appears in recent state and local solicitations primarily as frozen vegetables and related food products supplied to correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies rather than as batatas specifically. The code's recent activity centers on frozen vegetable procurement—carrots, corn, mixed assortments, and potato products—delivered to institutional food service operations under firm fixed-price contracts with FOB destination delivery, FDA/USDA compliance, and minimum shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions, county correctional facilities, and school districts across multiple states. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple solicitations in the recent cycle, establishing a pattern of repeat procurement activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Missouri, with the heaviest recent volume in Oregon and Texas state agencies. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division seeking approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn under ITB S2910000017451 (due July 24, 2026) and 120,000 pounds of frozen potato products (french fries, wedges, tater tots) under ITB S2910000017439 (due July 24, 2026), both from the same issuer and supporting institutional food service; Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking cafeteria food products including frozen specialty entrees under IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026) with approximately 382 line items across multiple TDCJ warehouse locations; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumable products statewide under IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) with historical contract value of approximately $1.5 million annually. Pricing across recent awards ranges from $0.30 to $0.67 per pound depending on product type and case configuration, with Oregon applying combined 10 percent state preference for in-state goods and resident bidders and Texas applying HUB set-asides where applicable.
