UNSPSC 50464702: Canned or jarred blanca malanga

The variety of malanga known as blanca malanga that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464702 Canned or jarred blanca malanga, a Commodity code, sees limited direct procurement activity in the recent state and local opportunity record — no solicitations specifically request blanca malanga. The code sits within food products broadly purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, state hospitals, corrections facilities, and veterans homes. When institutions do solicit canned or jarred specialty vegetables under related codes, procurement patterns show school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and state veterans facilities as the primary issuing bodies. These entities purchase canned and jarred produce staples — tomato products, vegetables, fruits — as components of meal service contracts covering hundreds of line items across multiple product categories, with pricing submitted as firm fixed unit rates and delivery required to central distribution points or directly to school and facility locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, where recent solicitations for canned food products and broader grocery procurement have posted through February to June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with pricing on NIGP commodity classes; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (posted March 23, 2026, due April 6, 2026) for the Central Distribution Center; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens across Virginia. Canned vegetable procurement is episodic rather than continuous; vendors succeed by maintaining USDA grade compliance, firm pricing inclusive of freight, and delivery capability to multiple institutional locations under standing nutrition program contracts typically effective July through June with annual or multi-year renewal options.
