UNSPSC 50466103: Canned or jarred giant winter spinach

The variety of spinach known as giant winter spinach that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466103 Canned or jarred giant winter spinach, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific item. Instead, the recent activity under related canned-vegetable codes reflects state and local governments' broader purchasing of canned produce as components of larger food-service contracts—primarily for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services institutions. When canned vegetables like spinach appear in these procurements, they are bundled with hundreds of other line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods, with vendors expected to quote on the full scope or a minimum percentage of line items rather than individual SKUs. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent RFPs and IFBs posted by Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri); state facilities including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, and Ben Hill County Schools also solicit regularly. The code shows activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), with material volume in Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompasses canned goods among 210 line items with a historical value of $1.5 million and firm fixed unit pricing required; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with USDA Grade B or better and sodium limits, delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), which requires bidders to respond to a minimum of 76 line items across produce, dairy, proteins, and dry goods for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, with evaluation based on total cost per serving and delivery Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Canned spinach as a discrete line item rarely appears isolated in these solicitations; vendors pursuing the code should focus on distributors with USDA compliance certification, HACCP protocols, and capacity to deliver case quantities to multiple school and facility locations on regular schedules, as that is where the actual procurement volume concentrates.
