UNSPSC 50463101: Canned or jarred chinese chives

The variety of chives known as chinese chives that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463101 Canned or jarred Chinese chives, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement; recent opportunities tagged with this code predominantly address broader food procurement for institutional dining and school nutrition programs rather than Chinese chives specifically. State and local governments do purchase canned and jarred specialty produce items as line items within larger food service contracts, but the recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations for Chinese chives alone. The issuing bodies conducting food procurement under related commodity codes include state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school systems (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI and other Missouri districts; Fairfax County in Virginia), and state-supported facilities. These entities procure canned vegetables and specialty ingredients as components of comprehensive food service contracts rather than as standalone items.

The geographic spread of food procurement activity spans multiple states, with concentrated recent activity in Georgia (school districts and state procurement), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (Veterans Home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million) and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products (sealed bids due June 15, 2026). The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for TDCJ cafeteria food products encompasses approximately 382 line items with delivery to multiple TDCJ warehouses (response deadline May 4, 2026). These procurement vehicles typically use IFB or RFP structures with firm, fixed pricing; include Buy American and USDA compliance requirements; and award on lowest responsive and responsible bid or best value. Canned specialty vegetables appear as individual line items within these broader solicitations rather than as dedicated procurement opportunities, suggesting limited standalone demand for Chinese chives as a commodity in current state and local contracting.
