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 a narrow product line within the broader universe of shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments purchase primarily for institutional food service operations — school nutrition programs, state facility dining operations, and corrections departments. State and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of this specific preserved vegetable item as one component of larger food-service contracts, not as standalone line items. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations for Chinese broccoli alone; instead, the code appears as a minor line item within broader institutional food-procurement requests issued by school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments across multiple states.

Recent activity shows this commodity embedded within larger food-service contracts solicited by issuing bodies including state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), state departments managing veterans facilities and institutional nutrition (Illinois), and school districts (Ben Hill County and Burke County in Georgia; Douglas County and Muscogee County in Georgia; Liberty County in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Fairfax County in Virginia; Rockwood School District in Missouri). Geographic spread includes procurement activity in Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri, with no pattern indicating concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes as a proxy for preserved vegetable procurement (due April 6, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens. Canned Chinese broccoli does not appear as a specific line item in any posted solicitation detail; the code's assignment to source records reflects categorization without evidence of active standalone demand in the current opportunity set.
