UNSPSC 50446851: Frozen raddichios

The type of vegetable known as raddichios and has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446851 Frozen raddichio (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen raddichio; instead, the opportunities tagged with related frozen-vegetable codes feature frozen corn, frozen potato products, frozen assorted vegetables, frozen carrots, and frozen mixed vegetables across correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies.

The mismatch between the code and actual recent activity suggests frozen raddichio is either purchased infrequently or classified differently in state and local procurement systems. When frozen vegetables are solicited, issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), school nutrition programs (Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia), state health and human services agencies (Texas), and county facilities. Oregon Department of Corrections appears multiple times as a repeat buyer of frozen vegetables, with recent ITBs for frozen corn (due July 24, 2026), frozen potatoes (due July 24, 2026), and frozen assorted blends (due April 23, April 22, and June 22, 2026). The geographic spread centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri, with additional activity in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Illinois. School districts and correctional facilities typically solicit frozen vegetables in volume for institutional food service, with pricing based on per-pound or per-unit rates, FOB destination delivery, and firm fixed pricing for annual contract periods. Vendors must maintain FDA/USDA compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million per occurrence depending on issuer), and deliver within 30 to 45 days of order. Frozen raddichio itself does not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed.
