UNSPSC 50463707: Canned or jarred tardo fennel

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

UNSPSC 50463707 Canned or jarred tardo fennel is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — primarily canned vegetables and prepared foods for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services operations. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county commissioners' offices, and school districts. When institutions procure canned goods as part of larger consumables buys, they typically bundle fennel and similar preserved vegetables with dozens of other canned proteins, fruits, vegetables, and condiments in single comprehensive IFBs or RFQs rather than issuing line-item specific solicitations.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Texas and Georgia, with standout repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has issued multiple IFBs for state supported living center food supplies in 2026) and Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include IFB HHS0018082 posted by Texas Health and Human Services Commission on October 16, 2026, for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), which bundled prepared foods and service supplies across 22 line items; IFB S2910000017460 posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections on June 5, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026); and a school nutrition food bid by Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (response due June 5, 2026) encompassing nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories. Most institutional food procurement in this commodity space emphasizes delivery within 7 days of order, F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, compliance with USDA grade standards, and minimum shelf life of 90 days to 12 months depending on product category.
