UNSPSC 50463703: Canned or jarred herald fennel

The variety of fennel known as herald fennel that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50463703 Canned or jarred herald fennel is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual purchasing activity in the source material. State and local governments are not currently soliciting canned herald fennel; instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code represent broad food service procurement for institutional facilities—state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and county social service departments—covering hundreds of line items including canned vegetables (tomatoes, beans), proteins, dairy, frozen specialty items, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and state agencies (State of Georgia, State of Illinois). Texas agencies dominate the recent activity, with multiple IFBs from HHSC for state supported living centers and the Department of Criminal Justice canteen operations.

Geographic concentration in the source is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with one Oregon procurement (canned tomatoes for the Department of Corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026); the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, with 5 percent Oregon preference); and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive school nutrition bid spanning nearly 400 line items for five schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026). Prices are typically firm and fixed for initial periods with adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index, and delivery is generally F.O.B. Destination within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt. This code shows material mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement; vendors should verify the true commodity classification of opportunities before pursuing.
