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 is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line that state and local governments purchase as part of broader food service procurement, though the code itself sees sparse standalone activity—recent solicitations tag this specific item infrequently and instead treat canned vegetables as line items within larger food supply contracts for school districts, corrections facilities, and state health and human services agencies. State and local issuing bodies pursuing food under related codes include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and state hospitals, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school nutrition programs. These jurisdictions source canned and jarred vegetables as component items within master grocery contracts, quarterly food orders, and annual food supply procurements, where individual line items are specified by product category and packed quantity but rarely called out by UNSPSC code at purchase time.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with recent solicitation volume in Texas (multiple HHSC facilities statewide, TDCJ distribution points across five regions), Oregon (ODOC Central Distribution Center), Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Ben Hill County, Savannah-Chatham County school districts), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home Quincy), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due Jul 13, 2026, IFB, $1.5 million prior-period spend), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due Jun 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products including canned and jarred items across multiple categories (due Jun 15, 2026, IFB, Buy American Act required). Pricing in recent canned-vegetable procurements has been firm and fixed for initial contract periods, with adjustments permitted only at renewal or upon documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater; evaluation typically favors lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value based on price, quality, and delivery performance.
