UNSPSC 50466103 Canned or jarred giant winter spinach is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned vegetables for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local bodies are buying canned vegetables—including canned spinach, tomatoes, and other shelf-stable products—as components of larger food supply contracts for state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services programs, and school nutrition programs. The work encompasses procurement of case quantities of branded or equivalent canned and jarred vegetables delivered to institutional kitchens and food service distribution centers on a scheduled or as-needed basis, with F.O.B. Destination pricing and compliance with USDA grade standards, FDA labeling, and shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple using agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers in recent activity.
