UNSPSC 50446848: Frozen palm hearts

The type of vegetable known as palm hearts that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446848 Frozen palm hearts is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen palm hearts; instead, the tagged opportunities cover frozen corn, frozen potatoes, groceries, cafeteria food products, supplemental food and consumables, fresh produce, frozen mixed vegetables, and related food service items across state corrections, school nutrition, and public health facilities. The code's nominal scope—a single specialty frozen vegetable product—does not align with the broad, multi-item food procurement activity actually being solicited under related UNSPSC codes by state and local buyers.

State and local issuers pursuing frozen vegetable commodities include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Texas, and county correctional facilities in Pennsylvania. These entities issue ITBs and RFPs for consolidated food service procurement covering dozens or hundreds of line items per solicitation. Recent representative solicitations 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), both posted in July 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026); and the Bridgeport Board of Education's competitive grocery procurement (due June 30, 2026) covering over 1,100 line items under Buy American requirements. Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, with school districts and state institutional food service operations accounting for the majority of posted opportunities. The code shows no recent dedicated solicitations targeting frozen palm hearts as a standalone commodity, indicating limited demand or bundling under broader grocery codes.
