UNSPSC 50462808: Canned or jarred white king chard

The variety of chard known as white king chard that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462808 Canned or jarred white king chard, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader food-service procurement universe, yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for this item. State and local governments buy canned vegetables primarily as components of larger food-service contracts — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers — rather than as standalone line items. The code's scope encompasses processed leafy greens in shelf-stable form, suitable for high-volume institutional food service where fresh inventory management poses operational challenges. Issuing bodies soliciting under related canned-vegetable codes span school districts (Fairfax County, Burke County, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Rockwood R-VI), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), and state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with school districts appearing as the dominant repeat buyers.

The most recent opportunities in the related canned-vegetable space show state and local governments purchasing canned tomatoes and tomato paste through ITBs and IFBs with firm fixed pricing, USDA grade requirements, and delivery to central distribution points. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016089 for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste (due March 9, 2026) and ITB S2910000015837 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in mixed forms (due February 9, 2026), both with five percent Oregon-vendor preferences and delivery to Salem's Central Distribution Center. Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering NIGP Class 385, 390, 380, and 393 with historical volume of $1.5 million and pricing indexed to Consumer Price Index. School districts routinely bid multi-hundred-line-item food procurements encompassing canned vegetables as part of broader annual food contracts; these typically run July through June with firm pricing for 12 months, delivery three to five times weekly, and awards split across multiple vendors by line item. The code itself shows no current solicitation activity, suggesting canned white king chard is either bundled into larger food bids without line-item visibility or rarely specified by institutional buyers in this jurisdiction mix.
