UNSPSC 50462001: Canned or jarred broccolini

The variety of broccoli known as broccolini that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462001 Canned or jarred broccolini, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts for institutional cafeterias, dining facilities, and food-assistance programs. Recent solicitations show this code tags general institutional food procurement where canned and jarred vegetables are one line item among dozens of products (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and supplies), rather than standalone broccolini-specific buys. State-supported living centers, correction facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior-services departments are the primary issuing bodies. The work itself consists of supplying case quantities of shelf-stable vegetables meeting USDA and FDA standards, with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery typically within 72 hours to 7 days of order, and compliance with federal food-labeling and safety requirements including shelf-life certifications and nutritional facts labeling.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state-supported living centers) and Oregon Department of Corrections dominate recent activity on this code and related food categories, with secondary activity from Georgia school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), Gwinnett County, and Illinois state agencies. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia, with sporadic activity across other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Lufkin State Supported Living Center IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), which solicited 22 food and supply line items for fiscal year 2027 with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) paying $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase; and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid for school nutrition (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) encompassing nearly 400 line items with delivery to four school locations. Pricing is typically requested on a per-unit basis with all transportation and delivery included, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. No recent opportunities in the source are exclusively or primarily for canned broccolini — the code appears as one line item within much larger institutional food contracts.
