UNSPSC 50462907: Canned or jarred salad king chicory

The variety of chicory known as salad king chicory that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462907 Canned or jarred salad king chicory, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its nominal scope; state and local jurisdictions instead solicit broadly for canned vegetables and prepared foods as line items within larger food-service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. The code does not surface as a standalone procurement category or as a named product family in recent opportunities. When canned vegetables do appear in state and local solicitations—such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) or the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato bids (S2910000016405, due March 9, 2026)—they are typically embedded as single line items within much larger food-supply contracts covering dozens or hundreds of products. School districts across Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) are the most frequent recent buyers, issuing standing grocery and food-service contracts annually that include canned goods as minor components alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, with secondary solicitation from Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia school systems. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026, with prior historical value of $1.5 million annually), and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid covering multiple categories including canned fruits and vegetables (PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB, due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued separate, high-volume solicitations for canned tomatoes alone (approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case in prior purchases). Canned salad king chicory as a distinct product line does not appear in any recent opportunity summary; the code likely represents a hyper-specific commodity taxonomy entry with minimal standalone procurement demand at state and local level, where purchasing decisions typically aggregate vegetables into broader line-item groups or accept manufacturer equivalents rather than specify variety.
