UNSPSC 50446846: Frozen moqua

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

UNSPSC 50446846 Frozen moqua is a Commodity code capturing institutional and school food service procurement for frozen vegetable products, particularly corn, carrots, and vegetable blends, that state and local governments purchase for cafeterias, correctional facilities, and nutrition assistance programs. State and local buyers under this code span correctional departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and municipal facilities; the Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer across multiple frozen vegetable solicitations, while school nutrition programs and state institutional food services drive substantial ongoing demand.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Oregon's Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen corn, carrots, and assorted vegetable blends with July 2026 response dates, pricing frozen corn at $0.498 per pound and frozen potatoes at $0.3811 per pound based on prior awards. School districts across Georgia (including Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, and Early County Schools) issued food bids in April–May 2026 for comprehensive nutrition programs, with frozen vegetables as line items within broader grocery procurements; these contracts typically run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with options for renewal and extension. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for state hospitals and state supported living centers (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) encompasses frozen specialty foods and vegetable products with estimated values reaching $1.5 million for prior periods. The Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut posted a comprehensive grocery IFB in June 2026 spanning frozen products alongside 1,100+ line items, emphasizing Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural ingredients). Correctional facilities in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have solicited cafeteria food products including frozen items on recurring cycles. Institutional food service volume in these jurisdictions suggests steady replacement demand, with price sensitivity driving competitive response and Oregon's regional preferences (up to 10% combined for in-state fabrication and resident headquarters) favoring local suppliers where possible.
