UNSPSC 50463605: Canned or jarred grumolo verde endives

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

UNSPSC 50463605 Canned or jarred grumolo verde endives is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show no activity specifically for grumolo verde endives or similar specialty vegetables. Instead, state and local jurisdictions are procuring broad categories of shelf-stable canned and jarred foods—canned vegetables, canned proteins, canned tomatoes, and related consumables—for food service operations at state facilities, school districts, and other public agencies. The actual work being bought under this code tier encompasses shelf-stable food inventory for institutional food service, not the narrow specialty product the code nominally names. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHS Commission, State of Illinois), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county and municipal school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and county senior services operations (Gwinnett County). State facilities and school systems are repeat buyers, with Texas HHS Commission appearing in multiple recent solicitations for consumables supporting state supported living centers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods, due October 23, 2026, 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with F.O.B. Destination pricing); Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 (approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, and canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (comprehensive food bid including canned fruits, vegetables, and related items for four school locations, due June 15, 2026, with Buy American Act requirements). The code shows active procurement momentum but little evidence that vendors are specifically pursuing grumolo verde endives as a line item; instead, they compete across broader canned-vegetable and shelf-stable-food categories within these institutional food service contracts.
