UNSPSC 50464119: Canned or jarred recao

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

UNSPSC 50464119 Canned or jarred recao (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but recent opportunities show this code is being tagged for broader grocery and food service sourcing that extends well beyond canned cacao products. State and local agencies are using this code to solicit everything from fresh produce, eggs, proteins, and dairy to prepared entrees, frozen specialty foods, beverages, and consumable supplies for institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies span a diverse cross-section: state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County Schools in Georgia), and state facility operations. Recent activity reflects heavy volume from school nutrition departments and state-facility food service operations, particularly in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Virginia and Missouri.

Geographic concentration sits in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Douglas County Schools RFP for fresh produce and eggs with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million across two regions), Virginia (Fairfax County's Master Grocery K-12 contract), and Missouri (Rockwood School District's child nutrition grocery procurement spanning over 900 line items). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026) with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026, contract July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with four renewal options), Rockwood R-VI School District's child nutrition grocery items solicitation spanning over 900 line items for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (response due April 29, 2026), and Douglas County Schools' RFP SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (response due March 4, 2026). The code mismatch—nominal scope "canned or jarred recao" versus actual solicitation content across full institutional food service categories—suggests either legacy code assignment or broad procurement categorization by issuing offices, making this code a useful signal for any vendor pursuing state and local institutional food service contracts.
