UNSPSC 50446907: Frozen hurst green shaft peas

The variety of sugar peas known as hurst green shaft peas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50446907 Frozen hurst green shaft peas is a Commodity code for frozen vegetable products that state and local procurement offices acquire for institutional food service operations, particularly corrections facilities and school nutrition programs. The recent opportunities under this code show that state and local buyers source frozen vegetables broadly—including carrots, corn, mixed assortments, and broccoli alongside peas—delivered in bulk quantities (40,000 to 400,000 pounds per solicitation) to central distribution centers or school warehouses. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), county and municipal school districts (Decatur, Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Fairfax County, Rockwood, Ben Hill, Dallas ISD), and county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania). Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers, each posting multiple frozen-vegetable solicitations over the review period. School districts dominate by volume, with nearly two-thirds of the recent opportunities targeting school nutrition programs for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Decatur, Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Oregon (ODOC), Pennsylvania (Montgomery County), Missouri (Rockwood), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 (approximately 40,000 pounds frozen corn, due July 24, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (multiple frozen produce categories, due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026). Oregon and Texas corrections agencies consistently price frozen vegetables between $0.39 and $0.67 per pound, and school districts require USDA compliance, Buy American Act adherence (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans, and firm pricing with quarterly or semiannual escalation only upon documented manufacturer increases or market indices. Oregon applies a cumulative 10 percent preference (5 percent for Oregon-processed goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders), and several school districts permit price increases exceeding specified thresholds (3 to 20 percent depending on the jurisdiction) to trigger sourcing from alternate vendors. Insurance requirements typically range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence for general liability. Activity through mid-July 2026 remains steady with near-term response deadlines (late June through late July) and fiscal-year contract starts beginning July 1, 2026.
