UNSPSC 50446814: Frozen caperberries

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

UNSPSC 50446814 Frozen caperberries is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are predominantly broader frozen vegetable and grocery food service contracts for correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies—items such as frozen corn, mixed vegetables, carrots, potatoes, and comprehensive food supply arrangements for institutional meal programs. Frozen caperberries specifically do not appear in any of the posted solicitations; the code assignment reflects misalignment between the taxonomy designation and the work actually being purchased. State and local buying is concentrated among correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Correctional Facility), school food authorities (Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, and multiple other Georgia districts), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois, and New Jersey Department of Human Services). Issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, independent school districts, and regional purchasing cooperatives, with school district food service procurement emerging as a dominant buyer segment.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, with significant recent solicitations posted by Oregon (frozen vegetables for corrections), Texas (cafeteria food products, supplemental food and consumables, educational materials), Georgia (fresh produce, frozen foods, school nutrition food bids), Pennsylvania (correctional facility groceries and meats), and Illinois (weekly food orders). Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (posted July 10, 2026, due July 24, 2026, approximately 40,000 pounds at $0.498 per pound historical pricing), Burke County Public Schools' sealed bid for comprehensive school nutrition food products (posted May 11, 2026, due June 5, 2026, nearly 400 line items across multiple categories), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (posted February 26, 2026, with extended due date of February 23, 2026, maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years across 210 line items). Most institutional food service contracts feature firm fixed pricing for 12-month initial periods, allowances for quarterly or semiannual price adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation, delivery to multiple locations, compliance with federal Buy American and HACCP requirements, and general liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence.
