UNSPSC 50446823: Frozen dau mue or pea tips

The type of vegetable known as dau mue or pea tips that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446823 Frozen dau mue or pea tips is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities in the source show no procurement activity for this specific product—the code does not align with actual purchasing patterns in the dataset. State and local agencies are instead soliciting frozen vegetables including carrots, mixed blends, corn, and assorted varieties; fresh produce; and comprehensive grocery and food service contracts, but pea tips or dau mue do not appear in any recent notice. The code shows no relevant recent activity.

The overwhelming volume of recent solicitations across the state and local sector focuses on institutional food service procurement—correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and K-12 school districts—where frozen vegetables, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and staple groceries dominate the spend. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and school districts in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut have issued ITBs and RFPs for frozen mixed vegetables, carrots, corn, and assorted blends in quantities ranging from 40,000 to 400,000 pounds per solicitation, with response deadlines clustered between February and July 2026. These agencies emphasize USDA/FDA compliance, HACCP plans, temperature maintenance, and minimum shelf-life requirements (typically six months for frozen stock). No solicitations reference dau mue or pea tips by name or specification, and keyword searches across the opportunity block yield no matches for this Asian vegetable variant. The code appears misclassified for current state and local procurement activity or represents a niche product with minimal institutional demand in the jurisdictions tracked by this dataset.
