UNSPSC 50446820: Frozen dandelion greens

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

UNSPSC 50446820 Frozen dandelion greens is a Commodity code that shows no recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span frozen corn, frozen potatoes (french fries and tater tots), frozen mixed vegetables, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, and cafeteria food products across correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies—none of which match dandelion greens specifically. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual purchasing patterns reflected in posted solicitations, indicating either miscoding in the source records or minimal market demand for frozen dandelion greens as a discrete procurement line item.

State and local food service procurement activity is concentrated among Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple frozen vegetable ITBs), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia and other states, and county correctional facilities. Recent solicitations emphasize frozen vegetables, fresh produce, and packaged grocery items in bulk quantities for institutional meal service. Oregon posts ITBs regularly for frozen assorted vegetables, carrots, corn, and potatoes through June and July; Texas HHSC and TDCJ issue RFPs for statewide supplemental food and cafeteria products with annual contract values ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million; and school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas seek comprehensive food bids covering 300–900 line items for school nutrition programs. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Bulloch, Burke, Douglas, Savannah-Chatham, Early County, and Decatur school systems), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). No supplier has established visibility around frozen dandelion greens procurement; if pursuing this code, firms should focus on general frozen-vegetable or commodity-food platforms rather than expect demand for this specialty item.
