UNSPSC 50463301: Canned or jarred land cress

The variety of cresses known as land cress that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463301 Canned or jarred land cress is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of packaged vegetable products for institutional food service, though recent posted opportunities show minimal direct activity under this specific code. The few solicitations naming canned vegetables focus instead on broader food categories—tomatoes, mixed produce, and general grocery staples for school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—rather than on the narrow category of land cress alone. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with secondary activity from state departments of corrections, state health agencies, and county educational systems. When canned vegetables appear in scope, they are typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other line items in larger commodity food contracts, and land cress does not surface as a standalone or frequently ordered item in the recent RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs posted.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and selected Western jurisdictions. Georgia school districts (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham) and Douglas County Schools appear repeatedly in fresh-produce and comprehensive grocery solicitations; Texas health and human services agencies (HHSC, DSHS) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issue regular food-service procurements; Oregon Department of Corrections issues canned-vegetable bids; and Illinois Veterans Homes post quarterly food orders. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 (canned tomatoes, approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), neither of which specifically calls for land cress. The code shows limited direct procurement signal; vendors in this narrow commodity should monitor broader vegetable and institutional grocery RFPs where land cress may be listed as a minor line item but expect that sustained opportunity will depend on ability to fulfill comprehensive, multi-category food-service contracts rather than single-product supply.
