UNSPSC 50462003: Canned or jarred broccoli raab

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

UNSPSC 50462003 Canned or jarred broccoli raab is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments purchase as components of bulk food procurement for institutional feeding operations — canteens, cafeterias, food service programs, and facility supply chains rather than retail or consumer distribution. The work solicited under this code consists of foodservice supply contracts where canned or jarred broccoli raab is one line item among dozens of prepared foods, proteins, vegetables, condiments, and disposable service supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies operating state supported living centers and state hospitals, county boards of commissioners managing senior services and community programs, school districts running child nutrition and cafeteria operations, and state departments of corrections sourcing institutional food supplies. Recent opportunities show Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting repeatedly for state supported living center and state hospital consumables (including HHS0018082 in October 2026 and HHS0017872 in August 2026, both IFBs), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting food items for senior services under IWQ 140229 (October 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia soliciting school nutrition food under IFB #26271 (May 2026). Texas also issued a statewide supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2) in May 2026 with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an extensive cafeteria food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, May 2026) for TDCJ warehouse distribution.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with the most frequent and recent solicitations originating from Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia school districts and counties. Texas state agencies issued at least five separate food and consumables bids between May and October 2026 covering multiple state supported living centers and state hospitals. Georgia activity includes school district nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools both posting in May 2026) and county-level procurement (Gwinnett County, May 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato bid (S2910000017145, June 2026) and an unnamed potato procurement (S2910000017460, July 2026) both with Oregon preference provisions. Illinois State issued an FY-27 quarterly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, June 2026). Individual line-item opportunities under this code appear alongside hundreds of other food categories and quantities in large institutional food contracts; the October 2026 Texas HHS IFB (HHS0018082) and the May 2026 Georgia school bid (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271) exemplify the scope and response environment — sealed or electronic bids with 7–30 day response windows, F.O.B. Destination delivery terms with freight prepaid and included in pricing, three verifiable references required, and compliance with E-Verify, debarment certification, and state-specific affirmations and terms. Recent activity shows consistent demand but no breakout contracts focused solely on broccoli raab; vendors qualify by participating in comprehensive multi-category institutional food bids where canned vegetables represent a minor commodity line.
