UNSPSC 50464118: Canned or jarred perilla

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

UNSPSC 50464118 Canned or jarred perilla, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—preserved perilla, a leafy green vegetable used in Asian cuisines—does not align with the solicitations tagged to it in the source data. A review of ten recent opportunities posted between January and June 2026 reveals that the code was applied to general food service and grocery procurement by school districts, state agencies, and institutional food service operations in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois; these solicitations span cafeteria food supply, child nutrition services, institutional dining, and fresh produce but do not reference canned or jarred perilla as a line item or product category.

The mismatch between the code's definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a coding convention that maps broader commodity families to a specialized leaf-vegetable code. No recent opportunities show perilla as a distinct procurement item or as a significant portion of state and local food service spending. This code shows no meaningful activity under its stated definition and warrants exclusion from active pursuit unless future solicitations specifically call for preserved perilla products.
