UNSPSC 50463610: Canned or jarred rossa di verona endives

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

UNSPSC 50463610 Canned or jarred rossa di verona endives is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual food procurement activity documented in recent state and local opportunities. The code's specific reference to a specialized variety of canned endives is absent from the recent solicitations, which focus instead on broad shelf-stable food categories including canned proteins, vegetables, soups, and mixed consumable supplies for institutional food service. State and local governments are buying these items primarily for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and county social service programs. The issuing bodies include state health departments and state supported living centers (Texas), county school systems (Georgia), county social service departments (Georgia), and state corrections agencies (Texas, Oregon). Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat purchasers across multiple recent solicitations. Oregon Department of Corrections and several Georgia school districts also solicited under related food codes in the same period.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with bids due October 23, 2026, covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the Texas HHS Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) due March 19, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations, due May 4, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, June 19, 2026). School nutrition programs in Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia posted food bids in June 2026. The code itself shows minimal decision relevance to current procurement; business development professionals should monitor the broader food service and institutional consumables market rather than pursue this specialized endive category specifically.
