UNSPSC 50463000: Canned or jarred chinese cabbages

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

UNSPSC 50463000 Canned or jarred Chinese cabbages, a Class code, represents a narrow commodity line within state and local food procurement, but the recent opportunities block shows minimal sourcing activity directly tied to this specific product. State and local governments purchase canned and jarred vegetables—including Asian specialty items—primarily as components of larger food-service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions. However, the recent opportunities documented here focus on broader food categories (fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, canned tomatoes, and general grocery items) rather than Chinese cabbage specifically. School nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, and health and human services agencies are the primary issuing bodies buying food products at scale, but none of the representative recent solicitations explicitly name Chinese cabbage as a line item.

The geographic spread of recent food-service procurement activity spans Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), Georgia (school districts and state agencies), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood School District), with school districts across multiple states representing the highest-volume buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case), and school nutrition bids from Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia covering hundreds of line items across diverse food categories. Bidders pursuing this code should recognize that Chinese cabbage competes within general canned-vegetable procurement categories and appears infrequently as a standalone line item; opportunity depends on being qualified as a food distributor under broader food-service frameworks rather than on dedicated cabbage sourcing.
