UNSPSC 50462301: Canned or jarred black cabbages

The type of vegetable known as black cabbage that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462301 Canned or jarred black cabbages, a Commodity code, does not reflect meaningful recent procurement activity among state and local governments. The code's nominal scope—specialty preserved vegetables—diverges substantially from what is actually being solicited: state education agencies, correctional departments, health and human services commissions, and school districts are buying broad-spectrum food service supplies including proteins, dairy, produce, grains, condiments, and prepared foods, with canned vegetables appearing as minor line items within comprehensive food procurement packages rather than as standalone cabbage-specific purchases.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia), correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services operations (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), and specialized facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services issuing IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, with historical contract value $1.5 million for the prior period); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016089 in January 2026 for canned tomato products (response due February 9, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 in April 2026 for Master Grocery K-12 to supply 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026). The code itself generates minimal targeted opportunity—vendors pursuing this category should reframe toward comprehensive food service distribution and ingredient supply to institutional buyers rather than expect black-cabbage-specific solicitations.
