UNSPSC 50463600: Canned or jarred endives

The type of vegetable known as endives that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463600 Canned or jarred endives, a Class code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement that directly matches the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit broad food and consumable products for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, state corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veteran home operations — rather than endives specifically. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). The issuing bodies span multiple states, with particularly dense activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia during the past six months.

Recent solicitations under this code show a pattern of large-scale institutional food procurement rather than specialty produce. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products across multiple state supported living centers, covering NIGP food service classes with a prior-period value of $1.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016089 (closed February 9, 2026) for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at approximately $27.75 per case; a parallel tomato solicitation (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) seeks similar volumes. Fairfax County Public Schools is bidding a Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering delivery to 52 school locations. Ben Hill County Schools issued a broad school nutrition food bid (due June 15, 2026) encompassing multiple product categories across four schools. The Douglas County School System procures fresh produce and eggs through cooperative purchasing (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) estimated at $4.4 million for 18 districts and $1.1 million for 12 districts. Canned goods (tomatoes, tomato paste) appear in multiple recent bids, but the code assignment appears to reflect broader food service categories rather than endives as a line item, suggesting a potential mismatch between the code and actual procurement content.
