UNSPSC 50446847: Frozen opos

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

UNSPSC 50446847 Frozen opos is a Commodity code covering frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, school districts, and state health and human services agencies. The code captures line-item procurement of individually quick-frozen (IQF) vegetables such as corn, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, mixed blends, and assorted vegetable combinations, supplied in bulk quantities (typically 40,000 to 400,000 pounds per solicitation) with specifications for grade standards, shelf life, packaging formats, and FDA/USDA compliance. State corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and health and human services facilities drive the bulk of recent activity, with Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing as repeat buyers. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn bid (ITB S2910000017451, posted July 10, 2026, due July 24, 2026) seeking 40,000 pounds of whole kernel corn at $0.498 per pound reference pricing, and the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen assorted vegetables bid (ITB S2910000016558, posted April 8, 2026, due April 22, 2026) covering approximately 400,000 pounds across green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, stir fry blend, and peas with historical awards to Alpine Food and Robbins Sales in the $0.537 to $0.689 per pound range.

Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and other states across the Southeast and Upper Midwest show active recent procurement under this code. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen vegetable ITBs since February 2026 with standard 30-day delivery cycles and 5–10 percent state-preference markups for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited frozen supplemental foods and cafeteria products (IFB HHS0016792v2, posted May 19, 2026; IFB 304T-26-300CF, posted May 4, 2026) with 210+ line items and estimated contract values spanning $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. School districts in Georgia (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, City Schools of Decatur) and other regions issue food procurement bids that include frozen vegetables as line items within broader grocery and nutrition program contracts. Correctional facilities in Pennsylvania (Montgomery County) and other states seek frozen vegetables as part of standing as-needed supply agreements. Most solicitations are ITBs or IFBs with response windows of 30–45 days, firm pricing requirements on a per-pound or per-case basis, FOB destination terms with freight prepaid, and awards to lowest responsive, responsible bidders. Many buyers apply Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content), HACCP/food-safety compliance, liability insurance minimums ($500,000–$1,000,000), and debarment certifications.
