UNSPSC 50464123: Canned or jarred savory

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

UNSPSC 50464123 Canned or jarred savory is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned and jarred proteins, vegetables, soups, sauces, and related savory food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, senior services, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this category as part of broader food service procurement spanning fresh, frozen, and dry goods, though the code itself captures the subset of shelf-stable canned or jarred items. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), state procurement divisions serving correctional and state-hospital systems (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state institutional purchasers (State of Illinois). Vendors compete on firm fixed unit pricing, specification compliance, delivery timeliness, and past performance, with awards frequently made on a best-value basis rather than lowest price alone.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has been the most active recent buyer, issuing multiple IFBs between May and August 2026 for supplemental food and consumable products statewide (HHS0016792v2, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026), food service groceries for Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017799, historical value $158,000, due August 25, 2026), canteen groceries for Mexia (HHS0017798, historical value $160,500, due August 25, 2026), and food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 11, 2026). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ warehouse locations with approximately 382 line items and response due May 4, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, soups, and vegetables for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026. Georgia and Illinois also posted solicitations (PE55645NONST2026000000009 and 27497DVAQUINCB52821, both June 2026) covering food, supplies, and kitchen products with less detailed scopes in available documents.
