UNSPSC 50446835: Frozen kudzu

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

UNSPSC 50446835 Frozen kudzu (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under recent solicitations posted against this code. The recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen kudzu; instead, all twenty-seven records name frozen corn, frozen potato products, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted vegetables, and comprehensive grocery and food service procurement spanning fresh produce, meats, dairy, bread, and supplies for correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with its nominal scope. The issuing bodies represented include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school districts, school districts in Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, and the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases. Geographic concentration is heavy in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) with scattered activity in the Northeast and Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000017451 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn (due July 24, 2026) at a reference price of $0.498 per pound; Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 services across 45 schools with responses due April 27, 2026. The code appears to be a classification artifact rather than an active procurement category, as vendors pursuing state and local food service contracts should monitor frozen vegetable, frozen entree, and comprehensive grocery supply codes instead.
