UNSPSC 50446836: Frozen lily bulb

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

UNSPSC 50446836 Frozen lily bulb is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure frozen vegetable products for institutional food service, but recent opportunities show minimal activity specifically aligned with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted since February 2026 span frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, and assorted frozen vegetable blends supplied to correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services agencies—a pattern indicating that procurement activity under this code lane operates primarily within institutional dining contexts (corrections, K–12 nutrition programs, state hospitals, and supported living centers) rather than retail or commercial food distribution. School districts and state corrections departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with correctional facilities in Oregon and Texas appearing multiple times; school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Texas also post regularly. The code sees distributed activity across multiple states with concentrations in Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (Department of Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services Commission, school districts), and Georgia (school systems), alongside activity in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, and Missouri.

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) and frozen potato products (120,000 pounds, due July 24, 2026) under ITB Nos. S2910000017451 and S2910000017439, both seeking firm fixed pricing per pound FOB Destination to Salem with 5–10 percent preferences for Oregon vendors; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five geographic distribution points (response due May 4, 2026); and the Bridgeport Board of Education's procurement of over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products under Notice of Intent BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026), requiring Buy American compliance and HACCP certification. Pricing in posted opportunities reflects institutional cost structures: the Oregon ODOC's prior frozen corn award (August 2025) was $0.498 per pound from Alpine Food; frozen potato products were $0.3811 per pound; Texas TDCJ cafeteria procurements require all-inclusive FOB Destination pricing with no separate fuel surcharges. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon applies 5–10 percent preferences for in-state vendors; Texas includes HUB set-asides where applicable; school districts emphasize Buy American (51+ percent domestic content) and HACCP compliance. Activity is steady and ongoing, with most school nutrition contracts running July 1 through June 30 on an annual renewal cycle, and correctional facilities posting spot procurements and term contracts with variable award structures (single vendor per line item or consolidated awards).
