UNSPSC 50462611: Canned or jarred walcheren winter 3 cauliflowers

The variety of cauliflower known as walcheren winter 3 cauliflowers that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462611 Canned or jarred Walcheren winter 3 cauliflowers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments purchase shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables for food-service operations at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and county social-services departments. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within a broader institutional food-procurement category encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, produce, and consumable supplies, with canned vegetables typically representing one small component of a larger bid rather than a standalone procurement focused exclusively on a single vegetable type. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of health and human services, state correctional departments, county school districts, and county boards of commissioners. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple recent bids for consumables and supplemental food products serving state-supported living centers; the Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have solicited canned produce; and school districts in Georgia and Texas have sought comprehensive food-service bids that include canned vegetables among numerous other categories. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered activity across state and county purchasing offices nationwide.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the code's narrow niche within larger food procurements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, a 22-line-item bid for prepared foods and food-service supplies with estimated annual case quantities ranging from 1 to 24 per item and delivery within seven days of order; canned vegetables do not appear explicitly itemized in the posted summaries, suggesting they either fall under broader categories or remain absent from this particular bid cycle. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026; bids due June 19, 2026) specifically for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, the most commodity-specific recent solicitation under this code family, with delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem and prior-year pricing at $13.75 per case. Neither the broad institutional food bids nor the Oregon tomatoes bid confirms active demand for Walcheren winter 3 cauliflowers specifically; the category code itself appears to be a legacy or specialty classification with minimal recent state and local procurement activity.
