UNSPSC 50462004: Canned or jarred chinese broccoli

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

UNSPSC 50462004 Canned or jarred Chinese broccoli is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables that state and local governments procure primarily through food service contracts for institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and meal programs. Recent solicitations show this code appearing within broader consumables and food-product RFPs and IFBs issued by state health and human services agencies, county nutrition programs, school districts, and corrections departments. The work involves supplying case quantities of canned or jarred vegetables—often alongside other shelf-stable proteins, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies—to central distribution centers, state facilities, and school cafeterias under firm fixed-unit pricing with FOB Destination delivery, typically within 7 days of order receipt. Bidders compete on unit cost, product specification compliance, delivery performance, and vendor track record as verified through state tracking systems or reference checks.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings.
