UNSPSC 50463008: Canned or jarred kasumi bok choy

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

UNSPSC 50463008 Canned or jarred kasumi bok choy is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable packaged vegetables procured by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service. State and local opportunities under this code show that canned or jarred vegetables—including kasumi bok choy and related items—are bought as line items within broader food consumables procurements supplying state institutions, county services, school districts, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, State of Illinois), county commissioners (Gwinnett County), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools). These procurements typically bundle kasumi bok choy and similar shelf-stable vegetables with proteins, grains, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies under single comprehensive food contracts. The code sees active procurement across multiple states but does not support a dedicated kasumi bok choy solicitation in the recent-opportunities block; instead, canned vegetables appear as individual line items within much larger food service packages.

Geographic activity spans Texas (multiple HHS Commission procurements for state supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state-level food service). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017872 (bids due August 25, 2026) for consumables and noncontract food items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, which encompassed canned vegetables and shelf-stable products among 20 line items with annual estimated usage of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T26300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five Texas geographic areas; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for food products across eight categories including canned fruits and vegetables. No dedicated opportunities for kasumi bok choy alone are posted; the code shows marginal standalone activity and is primarily pursued as part of larger institutional food service contracts where canned or jarred vegetables are one commodity among many.
