UNSPSC 50446860: Frozen tendergreen

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

UNSPSC 50446860 Frozen tendergreen, a Commodity code, names a narrow frozen-vegetable product line, but recent state and local solicitations under this code actually span a far broader range of frozen and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and ancillary food items for institutional and school food service. State and local governments procure frozen vegetables—carrots, corn, mixed blends, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, peas, and stir-fry assortments—as core components of meal programs at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and school districts. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility food services drive significant frozen-vegetable volume. School districts dominate the recent opportunity mix, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) all seeking comprehensive grocery and fresh-produce contracts in the past six months. Correctional and human-services facilities—Montgomery County Correctional Facility (Pennsylvania), Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission—also regularly solicit frozen vegetables and ancillary food supplies. County and city school nutrition programs are the dominant issuing bodies, followed by state department procurement offices managing facility food service across multiple locations.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn ITB (solicitation S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026) seeking 40,000 pounds at $0.498 per pound reference pricing, and its frozen-potato ITB (solicitation S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026) for 120,000 pounds across three truckloads; Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) for multiple fresh and frozen produce categories across four school locations with Buy American compliance required; and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) encompassing grocery delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with a minimum three-year supplier experience requirement. Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables bids (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) for state hospitals and supported living centers indicate substantial recurring institutional demand, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year periods. Pricing typically uses per-pound or per-case unit rates with firm-fixed-price structures, FOB-destination delivery requirements, and compliance with Buy American, HACCP, and debarment certification mandates.
