UNSPSC 50463609: Canned or jarred rossa di treviso endives

The variety of endives known as rossa di treviso endives that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463609 Canned or jarred rossa di treviso endives, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this category. Recent state and local procurement activity tagged with this code shows no solicitations for the specialty endive product the code nominally describes. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span broad institutional food service — canned vegetables, shelf-stable proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, and food service supplies for state agencies, county governments, and school districts. The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the wide range of consumable food items in recent RFBs, IFBs, and RFQs suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying this code to general food service categories rather than tracking individual specialty produce items, or the opportunities have been miscoded in source systems. State institutions (health and human services facilities, state-supported living centers, prisons, school systems) dominate the issuing-body mix, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple school districts and county boards of education appearing repeatedly in recent postings.

Texas and Georgia show the most recent activity, with Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia purchasing broadly, and Texas state agencies running regular food-service solicitations. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior award at $13.75 per case; and Ben Hill County Schools' sealed bid for food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). Contract values where disclosed range from estimated annual spending of $1.5 million at a single Texas facility to $4.5 million over three years for a statewide HHSC supplemental-food program. The code shows little relevant activity for the specialty endive product it nominally covers.
