UNSPSC 50466100: Canned or jarred spinaches

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

UNSPSC 50466100 Canned or jarred spinaches is a Class code that names a single preserved-vegetable product line, but state and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying broad food-supply categories spanning proteins, dairy, produce, prepared foods, and consumables—the code's nominal scope does not match the work being solicited. Recent opportunities show school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies sourcing weekly or annual food contracts that include canned spinach as one line item among hundreds, from fresh produce and proteins to paper goods and kitchen supplies. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition programs account for the heaviest procurement activity under this code, with multiple districts issuing annual IFBs and RFPs for grocery and produce supply covering July-June contract periods.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia, with school nutrition procurements concentrated in Georgia and Missouri. Representative current solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 11, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products covering four school locations (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract IFB 2000004323 for delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, include firm fixed pricing with allowances for CPI or third-party market-index adjustments, and emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and delivery to multiple school or facility locations. No recent opportunities show this code as a primary or meaningful category—the code receives minimal relevant activity as a standalone item within much larger multi-category food procurements.
