UNSPSC 50462600: Canned or jarred cauliflowers

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

UNSPSC 50462600 Canned or jarred cauliflowers is a Class code that reflects state and local government procurement of preserved vegetable products as components of broader food service supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Recent solicitations show this code embedded within large food procurement efforts that bundle canned cauliflowers alongside dozens or hundreds of other items—canned tomatoes, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies—to support institutional food service operations including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and state health and human services institutions.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County in Virginia, Ben Hill County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, Liberty County in Georgia, Burke County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, and Muscogee County in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), and county school systems. The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with an incumbent reference of $13.75 per case), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026, covering delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens). Canned and jarred vegetables including cauliflower appear as line items within these broader solicitations, priced on per-case or per-unit bases and subject to USDA grading, food-safety compliance, sodium-content limits, and minimum shelf-life requirements. All pricing is inclusive of transportation and delivery to multiple school or institutional sites, with firm pricing maintained for the contract term and payment typically due within 30 days of delivery and acceptance.
