UNSPSC 50464127: Canned or jarred verdulaga

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

UNSPSC 50464127 Canned or jarred verdulaga is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable vegetable products, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a much broader range of food service procurement — fresh, frozen, dried, refrigerated, and canned proteins; dairy; grains; condiments; and consumable kitchen supplies alongside canned vegetables. State and local governments buying under this code include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and state hospital food services. Scope spans both routine facility food service and specialized programs including canteen and coffee-house operations. Solicitations typically require firm, fixed unit pricing with no substitutions permitted; products must be new, properly labeled, and delivered within specified windows or receipt deadlines. Award criteria emphasize specification compliance, delivery performance, and best value to the jurisdiction rather than lowest price alone.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers at Mexia and El Paso (HHS0017799, HHS0017798, HHS0017449), with response dates in August 2026 and July 2026, as well as a statewide supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0016792V2) with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and a response deadline in March 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, with response due May 4, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under RFQ IWQ 140229 with response due October 19, 2026. The State of Georgia and State of Illinois have also posted food procurement solicitations in May and June 2026. Delivery is consistently FOB Destination with inside delivery required, and vendors must meet strict compliance and documentation standards; late delivery and product-quality failures trigger penalty provisions including emergency procurement charges and storage cost recovery.
