UNSPSC 50446852: Frozen sinquas

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

UNSPSC 50446852 Frozen sinquas (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local governments buy infrequently — the source shows no recent solicitations specifically naming frozen sinquas, and the code appears to sit outside the mainstream flow of state and local food procurement activity. Institutions that do source frozen vegetables procure them as part of broad food service contracts spanning multiple produce categories; frozen sinquas, if purchased at all, would typically be one line item within a larger grocery or institutional food bid rather than a standalone commodity. Correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies account for the overwhelming majority of frozen-vegetable procurement in the recent activity, but their solicitations focus on commodity staples such as carrots, mixed-blend assortments, and corn rather than specialty or regional products.

The code shows virtually no recent state and local procurement activity that directly targets frozen sinquas as a named deliverable. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts, Pennsylvania counties, and Missouri school districts have all issued ITBs and IFBs for frozen vegetables in recent months — Oregon alone posted five separate frozen-vegetable solicitations between February and July 2026 — but none reference sinquas by name or as a distinct line item. When frozen vegetables do appear in these contracts, they are priced per pound on FOB Destination terms, delivered to central warehouses or school distribution points in full truckloads, and required to meet FDA/USDA standards with minimum six-month shelf life. The absence of sinquas from this activity suggests either minimal demand within state and local food service operations or that the product is sourced, if at all, as an equivalent substitution within broader frozen-vegetable line items rather than as a named commodity. Pursuit of this code at the commodity level carries material execution risk absent visibility into actual institutional buying patterns for this specific product.
