UNSPSC 50446853: Frozen soybeans

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

UNSPSC 50446853 Frozen soybeans (Commodity) shows minimal recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no frozen soybean solicitations; instead, the records document active procurement of frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, assorted blends, mixed vegetables), fresh produce, and broad grocery categories across correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies. While frozen vegetables are technically within the broader frozen-commodity family, the code's specific commodity — frozen soybeans — does not appear in any of the posted opportunities from the past six months. Correctional systems and school nutrition programs dominate the frozen-food procurement volume, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing multiple ITBs for frozen carrots, corn, and assorted vegetables (response dates between June 22 and July 24, 2026), and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia regularly soliciting frozen grocery staples as line items within larger food-service RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon DOC, ODOC), county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Douglas County, Georgia), cities (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Decatur, Georgia), independent school districts (Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI), and state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS, Georgia state procurement).

Geographically, the most recent frozen-food activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), the Southeast (Georgia school districts, Texas agencies), the Midwest (Missouri school districts, Illinois state procurement), and the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Connecticut). No frozen-soybean–specific solicitations appear in the dataset. If pursuing this code, focus on correctional food service and institutional nutrition programs where commodity-level frozen proteins and vegetables are purchased in bulk; however, the absence of frozen-soybean solicitations suggests either minimal demand under this specific code, or that state and local agencies are sourcing soybeans through broader frozen-vegetable or protein categories rather than as a standalone commodity.
