UNSPSC 50446863: Frozen udo

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

UNSPSC 50446863 Frozen udo (Commodity) does not map to the recent state and local contract activity posted under this code; the procurement record shows frozen vegetable products (corn, potatoes, carrots, mixed vegetables, and assorted blends) solicited by correctional facilities, school districts, and state health agencies, with no mention of udo as a food item in any of the opportunities.

State and local procurement under this nominal code in practice covers frozen commodity vegetables—primarily carrots, corn, potatoes, mixed vegetable blends, and assorted frozen produce—purchased by correctional departments, school nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, and county facilities for institutional food service. Recent solicitations from the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC) dominate the activity, with multiple ITBs posted since February 2026 for frozen carrots, mixed vegetables, and assorted blends in quantities ranging from 80,000 to 400,000 pounds per procurement. School districts nationwide—including Fairfax County (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Early County (Georgia), Burke County (Georgia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Decatur (Georgia), Dallas ISD (Texas), and Rockwood R-VI (Missouri)—are also active bidders for frozen and fresh produce under their school nutrition programs for the 2026-2027 academic year. Texas state agencies including TDCJ and the Health and Human Services Commission post commodity food bids covering frozen vegetables alongside fresh produce, meats, and dairy. Issuing bodies span state correctional agencies, state health departments, large and mid-sized school districts, county governments, and a few municipal systems. Pricing in recent ODOC awards ranges from $0.398 to $0.689 per pound depending on product type and package size; school district contracts and state facility procurement typically award to lowest responsive bidders on line-item or group bases with firm pricing for contract periods of one year or longer and firm fixed-price delivery terms with no fuel surcharges.

Oregon (particularly ODOC) shows the heaviest recent concentration of frozen vegetable procurement activity, with Georgia school districts representing a secondary cluster of activity and Texas state facilities constituting a third region of regular bidding. Representative current opportunities include ODOC's frozen corn solicitation (S2910000017451, ITB, due July 24, 2026) seeking 40,000 pounds at reference pricing of $0.498 per pound; ODOC's frozen potato products solicitation (S2910000017439, ITB, due July 24, 2026) seeking 120,000 pounds of french fries and wedges at prior award pricing of $0.3811 per pound; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) encompassing frozen products delivery to 45 schools; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2, IFB, originally due March 19, 2026) covering 210 line items of frozen and fresh products for state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Most school district contracts run July 1 to June 30 academic-year cycles with renewal options extending two to four additional years; state facility contracts typically span one to three years with renewal options. Set-asides vary by jurisdiction—Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference (five percent for Oregon-fabricated goods, five percent for Oregon resident bidders); school districts in Buy American jurisdictions must source at least 51 percent domestically grown agricultural ingredients; Texas state procurements include HUB subcontracting plan encouragement but no mandatory set-asides in the posted materials.
