UNSPSC 50464700: Canned or jarred malanga

The type of vegetable known as malanga that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464700 Canned or jarred malanga is a Class code that maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities record shows no solicitations for canned or jarred malanga; instead, the code captures a broad mix of food procurement — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, and meal service distribution across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and veterans homes. State and local governments are buying weekly food orders, quarterly food supply contracts, annual grocery line-item procurements for school cafeterias and institutional food service, and fresh produce and protein supply agreements, but canned malanga does not appear in any of the recent postings. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County Schools), state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county correctional and health systems, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (responses due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case), Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026, four school locations), Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items and Net Off Invoice products (due April 29, 2026, approximately 900 and 200 line items respectively across two separate solicitations), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract for 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution centers (due April 27, 2026, July 2026 through June 2027 term). The code shows active procurement volume but no alignment with its nominal commodity definition, suggesting a tagging misalignment rather than genuine malanga demand in state and local markets.
