UNSPSC 50464704: Canned or jarred eddoes malanga

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

UNSPSC 50464704 Canned or jarred eddoes malanga is a Commodity code that captures specialized preserved root vegetables, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct demand for the specific product; instead, solicitations tagged with this code predominantly reflect broad food-service procurement for canned and preserved vegetables as part of larger institutional food buys.

School districts, state nutrition programs, and state agencies issue the vast majority of opportunities in this space. The State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and numerous school districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia dominate recent activity. These buyers procure hundreds or thousands of line items spanning proteins, dairy, fresh and frozen produce, canned goods, condiments, and supplies in single competitive solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, IFB format, historical value $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due by bid response date, with historical pricing at $13.75 per case), and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 procurement (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens). School districts in Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Burke County, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia all issued food buys in the same window. Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia show the strongest recent activity. Canned vegetables, tomato products, and preserved root vegetables appear as line items within these larger solicitations rather than as standalone procurements, with Buy American requirements, USDA grade compliance, and firm fixed pricing as standard terms across all venues.
