UNSPSC 50466000: Canned or jarred sorrels

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

UNSPSC 50466000 Canned or jarred sorrels is a Class code that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables and condiments, though recent state and local opportunities under this code emphasize broader food procurement for institutional cafeterias, food service operations, and school nutrition programs rather than sorrels specifically. State and local governments are buying under this code primarily through Texas state health and human services agencies, Georgia and Oregon procurement divisions, school districts, and corrections departments. Solicitations span Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) contracts for state supported living centers and hospitals; Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products; Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools); Oregon Department of Corrections canned goods; Illinois state facilities food orders; and Gwinnett County and other local jurisdictions' food service supplies. The scope of work includes prepared and shelf-stable food products—canned and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and sauces—alongside food service consumables such as containers, napkins, and disposable supplies, all delivered on FOB Destination terms with delivery windows typically between 30 and 72 hours of order placement.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), which solicited 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies for fiscal 2027 operations; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (bids due June 19, 2026), which illustrates commodity-specific procurement with Oregon resident and in-state fabrication preferences. Texas HHSC also issued IFB HHS0016792V2 in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. School districts including Ben Hill County Schools (Food Bid due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (School Nutrition Food Bid due June 5, 2026) solicit comprehensive food procurements across multiple schools with Buy American Act compliance and USDA Child Nutrition meal pattern requirements. Pricing structures typically require firm fixed rates for initial contract periods with adjustments permitted at renewal based on verified third-party market indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data or Consumer Price Index figures.
