The variety of endives known as brussels witloof endives that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463601 Canned or jarred brussels witloof endives is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables—primarily canned tomatoes, canned proteins, canned vegetables, and related food service consumables—to supply institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services departments. The recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Texas state agencies (the Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon corrections, and Georgia school districts and county governments. Issuing bodies span state departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state-supported facilities. Work scope covers bulk food procurement with strict USDA grade and FDA compliance requirements, firm fixed pricing with delivery to designated distribution centers or facility kitchens, and vendor qualifications including liability insurance, references, and performance tracking. The code does not see high-frequency solicitation activity; most recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 involve multi-line-item food service contracts where canned vegetables represent one category among dozens.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 (posted May 19, 2026, response due March 19, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 (posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case in the prior February 2026 purchase; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition food procurement across four schools with Buy American Act compliance required. Texas and Oregon show the strongest recent activity; Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) also appear multiple times. Geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois, with Texas dominating through repeated state-agency solicitations for facility food service operations.
