UNSPSC 50446868: Frozen yuca

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

UNSPSC 50446868 Frozen yuca, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in recent state and local opportunities. While the code nominally specifies frozen yuca, the solicitations tagged under it cover a much broader frozen and fresh produce landscape including frozen mixed vegetables, carrots, corn, potatoes, and a comprehensive range of fresh produce. The work being solicited across these opportunities spans commodity food supply contracts for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, health and human services institutions, and county systems—primarily full-line or category-specific grocery procurement on firm fixed-price delivery terms, often with weekly or multi-truckload frequencies and FOB destination pricing that bundles transportation, fuel surcharges, and logistics.

State and local buyers using this code range across all major issuing-body types: the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Rockwood R-VI, and Douglas County systems) dominate the recent opportunities. County governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania) and state departments (Georgia, New Jersey, Illinois) also appear regularly. Oregon DOC and school districts in Georgia and Texas are repeat solicitors within the recent window. Geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, and Illinois, with substantial recurring activity across the South and in Texas's institutional food service sector. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, FOB Salem, July 24, 2026 response date), Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, approximately 382 line items, May 4, 2026 extended deadline), Ben Hill County Schools FY-27 food bid (2,500+ pounds of mixed categories, June 15, 2026 bid opening), and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 cooperative-purchasing districts (approximately $5.5 million annual spend, March 4, 2026 proposal due date). The code shows active, ongoing demand in correctional food service and school nutrition procurement, with opportunities consistently emphasizing firm fixed pricing, compliance with FDA/USDA standards, HACCP plans, and multi-week delivery windows.
