UNSPSC 50462002: Canned or jarred broccoli romanesco

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

UNSPSC 50462002 Canned or jarred broccoli romanesco, a Commodity code, represents a narrow food product line within institutional food procurement. State and local governments buy this item almost exclusively as part of broader food-service contracts for state facilities, schools, and correctional institutions rather than as standalone line-item procurements. The code appears embedded in multi-category food solicitations serving canteens, cafeterias, and nutrition programs at state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county service agencies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, independent school districts, county boards of education, and county departments of community services. The work itself is straightforward product supply with delivery, storage, and compliance requirements; vendors compete on price, specification conformance, delivery timeliness, and past performance rather than technical capability or specialized expertise.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food-service IFBs in the past four months, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables statewide, due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—solicited comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026, each encompassing hundreds of line items across food categories. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued a large canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) with prior pricing at $13.75 per case. The code shows no standalone broccoli-specific solicitations; canned broccoli appears only as one line item among dozens in multi-category food bids. Vendors should view this code as entry point within larger institutional food-service portfolios rather than as a discrete procurement category.
