UNSPSC 50463606: Canned or jarred large rooted magdeburg endives

The variety of endives known as large rooted magdeburg endives that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463606 Canned or jarred large rooted magdeburg endives (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records at a nominal level; the code does not map cleanly to the recent solicitation activity in the dataset. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are actually procuring broad food supply packages—canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies—for institutional kitchens at state health and human services facilities, school districts, correctional systems, and county senior services. Canned vegetables are a line item within those larger food contracts, not the primary focus, and the specific variety "magdeburg endives" does not appear in any of the detailed scope summaries. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas), state departments of corrections (Oregon), school districts (Georgia, North Carolina), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state nutrition programs (Illinois).

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered activity in North Carolina and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items including prepared foods and food service supplies with annual estimated quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026). The code shows little decision-relevant activity for the specific commodity named; firms pursuing state and local food service contracts should target the broader food supply and institutional catering codes rather than this narrow endive classification.
