UNSPSC 50462800: Canned or jarred chards

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

UNSPSC 50462800 Canned or jarred chards, a Class code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty preserved vegetables — does not match the composition of the fifteen most recent opportunities tagged under this classification. Instead, those solicitations cover broad food-service procurement for institutional buyers: school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes purchasing weekly or annual quantities of groceries, produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and prepared foods to support cafeterias, dining facilities, and food-service operations. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this code to general food supply contracts rather than to canned or jarred chards as a discrete commodity line item.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems in Georgia; and Douglas County Schools in Georgia), state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and other state institutions (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for school nutrition food products across multiple categories, due June 15, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 for weekly grocery delivery to 45 schools, due April 27, 2026. The code sees consistent activity but does not isolate canned or jarred chards as a procurement focus.
