UNSPSC 50446833: Frozen horseradish

The type of vegetable known as horseradish that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446833 Frozen horseradish (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code, which instead comprises frozen vegetable commodity purchases spanning corn, mixed vegetables, assorted blends, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, and stir-fry blends solicited by state departments of corrections and departments of human services, school districts, and county facilities across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, and other states. The actual buying under this code encompasses institutional food service procurement—primarily for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs—where frozen vegetable commodities are sourced in bulk (truckload quantities, case lots, or per-unit pricing) with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with FDA/USDA grade and safety standards. Recent solicitations emphasize product specifications including minimum shelf life, temperature maintenance, nutritional facts labeling, and HACCP compliance; historical reference pricing for frozen vegetables ranges from approximately $0.30 to $0.70 per pound depending on the product type and case configuration.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple frozen vegetable ITBs), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (cafeteria food products), school districts across Georgia (Savannah-Chatham County, Early County, Burke County, Bulloch County, Decatur), school districts in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Illinois (weekly food order), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County Correctional Facility), and New Jersey Department of Human Services. Oregon and Texas appear as the most frequent recent issuers, with multiple opportunities posted between February and July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, ITB due July 24, 2026, $0.498/pound reference pricing from prior award); Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017439 for frozen potato products (120,000 pounds of french fries and related items, ITB due July 24, 2026, $0.3811/pound reference from prior award); Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB due July 13, 2026, $1.5 million historical value prior period); and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for fresh and processed produce items for school nutrition (sealed bids due April 23, 2026). Frozen vegetable procurement under this code remains active and substantial, particularly for institutional food service in correctional and healthcare settings and school district nutrition programs.
