UNSPSC 50463002: Canned or jarred chinese flat-headed cabbage

The variety of chinese cabbage known as chinese flat-headed cabbage that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463002 Canned or jarred Chinese flat-headed cabbage is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty preserved vegetables, though recent opportunities show the code tags a much broader range of food service solicitations—from weekly institutional dining orders to comprehensive school nutrition supply contracts—rather than Chinese cabbage specifically. State and local governments buy canned and jarred produce under this code as components of larger food service operations, but the recent opportunities reveal significant mislabeling: most solicitations posted against this code actually seek multi-category food procurement (proteins, dairy, fresh produce, condiments, prepared foods, and consumables) rather than single commodity lines. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with the Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) each issuing multiple solicitations in the past six months. State health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections) and a small number of individual institutional facilities round out the mix. Illinois Veterans Home and state-supported living centers appear in multiple postings, indicating repeat activity at that tier.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical quarterly value of $1.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) seeking approximately 7,616 cases with FOB Destination pricing; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supplying 45 schools plus distribution kitchens; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) seeking sealed bids on hundreds of line items across fresh, frozen, dairy, condiments, and supplies with Buy American Act compliance required. Most school district solicitations run July 1 through June 30 contract years with firm pricing for initial periods and six-month or quarterly escalation tied to USDA market indices or Consumer Price Index, while institutional food service contracts at state facilities run longer initial terms (often through August 31 of the following year) with renewal options extending two to three years.
