UNSPSC 50463604: Canned or jarred chioggia endives

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

UNSPSC 50463604 Canned or jarred chioggia endives, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local government. The code's narrow focus on a specialty vegetable product diverges significantly from what state and local authorities are actually buying under food-service codes in the recent opportunities block—the overwhelming volume reflects broad food procurement spanning proteins, dairy, grains, produce, and prepared items for institutional feeding. School districts, state health and human services agencies, correctional departments, and veteran homes soliciting food supplies are acquiring general grocery and food-service products through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, but chioggia endive procurement does not surface as a line item in any of the representative solicitations reviewed.

Recent state and local food procurement is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oregon, driven primarily by school district nutrition programs and state institutional facilities. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) are issuing contracts for hundreds of food line items annually with response dates spanning March through June 2026. Texas Health and Human Services Commission is procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide under HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) and HHS0016792V2 (a prior cycle with estimated value of $4.5 million across three years). The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued separate bids for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026). School districts across Georgia, including Douglas County and Burke County, are establishing term contracts for fresh produce and eggs through cooperative buying vehicles with estimated annual values ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million per procurement. The code itself shows no actionable recent activity—pursue this code only if your firm supplies specialty preserved endives to large-volume institutional food distributors or state purchasing offices, not if you are targeting individual school or agency procurement opportunities.
