UNSPSC 50464116: Canned or jarred papalo

The variety of herbs known as papalo that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464116 Canned or jarred papalo is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity; the code does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under the broader food-supply categories that appear in the source materials. Recent solicitations tagged under related food-supply codes target fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, grains, frozen entrees, condiments, canned vegetables, and consumables for school districts, state health and human services facilities, corrections departments, and warehouse distribution centers. The issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, state comptroller offices, state prison systems, county school districts, and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple districts. The work is distributed across Texas (the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Comptroller), Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Illinois, and Missouri, reflecting activity concentrated in large state systems and multi-district cooperative arrangements.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million and a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years including renewal); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across five warehouse locations (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum); Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 service to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (bids due April 27, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items solicitation for over 900 line items serving 6,900 daily lunch participants (bids due April 29, 2026); and Douglas County Schools' RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by region (proposals due March 4, 2026). The code itself—canned or jarred papalo—does not appear in any of these actual procurements, signaling a significant mismatch between the taxonomy classification and current state and local purchasing demand.
