UNSPSC 50462100: Canned or jarred brussel sprouts

The type of vegetable known as brussel sprouts that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462100 Canned or jarred brussel sprouts is a Class code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit broad food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, state-operated facilities, and correctional institutions—canned vegetables represent only one line item among hundreds in each procurement. The few opportunities that name canned tomatoes or tomato paste directly (Oregon Department of Corrections solicitations for canned tomatoes and tomato paste, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements for supplemental food covering dozens of product categories) treat canned vegetables as commodity-level inputs, not primary procurement objectives. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state agencies also solicit regularly, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and State of Illinois Veterans Home appearing multiple times. The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 products across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026, with award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder based on total annual cost calculated by unit price multiplied by one-year forecast servings). Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products spanning multiple categories (due June 15, 2026) and Rockwood R-VI School District's dual procurements for grocery items and net-off-invoice products (both due April 29, 2026) illustrate the scale and complexity typical of school-system food solicitations. The code does not report whether canned brussel sprouts specifically are bid-upon; the data reflect only that vendors responding to these broad food RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs must stock hundreds of line items, of which canned vegetables are a subset. Pursuit under this code requires capacity to bid competitively across entire food service portfolios rather than single-SKU specialization.
