UNSPSC 50463304: Canned or jarred wintercress

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

UNSPSC 50463304 Canned or jarred wintercress is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the product category. State and local governments buy canned or jarred vegetables and related food products under this code, but the recent opportunities in the dataset show no solicitations specifically for wintercress; instead, agencies are procuring broader food supply categories—canned tomatoes, canned goods as part of meal service packages, and comprehensive food service contracts where wintercress would be a line item among hundreds of others if ordered at all. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments, school nutrition programs, and facilities supporting state-supported living centers across multiple states. The work being solicited ranges from single-commodity bids (such as Oregon Department of Corrections procuring 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 via ITB S2910000017145) to comprehensive food service aggregations where hundreds of line items span proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and canned goods collectively. The issuing-body mix tilts heavily toward school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), followed by state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy).

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast and upper Midwest, with Georgia school districts appearing as repeat solicitors, Oregon corrections procurement active twice, and Texas HHSC posting multiple food and consumable bids. Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia also show recent activity. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the broader context: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 11, 2026, later amended) for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals, covering multiple product categories with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with delivery to Salem, Oregon; and Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 supply covering 45 schools and distribution kitchens across Fairfax County, Virginia, with firm fixed pricing required for 365 days from award. Wintercress as a standalone Commodity code reflects minimal direct procurement volume in the recent state and local landscape—it is functionally subsumed within broader food service and grocery aggregation contracts where specific vegetable items are priced and managed as line items rather than discrete solicitations.
