UNSPSC 50466104: Canned or jarred horenso spinach

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

UNSPSC 50466104 Canned or jarred horenso spinach is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned and jarred produce items that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply contracts for institutional facilities. Rather than standalone spinach procurement, this code appears in combined food-service RFBs (Requests for Bid) and IFBs issued by state health and human services agencies, county nutrition programs, school districts, and corrections departments purchasing hundreds of line items spanning proteins, vegetables, dairy, and consumables to operate canteens, cafeterias, and food-service operations across multiple facility locations. State and local buyers under this code emphasize USDA standards compliance, minimum shelf-life guarantees (typically 12 months at delivery), proper labeling and code dating, specific sodium or nutritional content limits, and FOB Destination delivery with freight included. Issuing bodies include state supported living centers and state hospitals (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county senior services and department of corrections facilities (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state prison systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas agencies issuing the plurality of large-scale food-service RFBs. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables (due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumable foods (due October 23, 2026), and a supplemental statewide procurement HHS0016792v2 spanning 210 line items with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (due March 19, 2026); Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for community services (due October 19, 2026); Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bid (sealed bids due June 5, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas (response deadline May 4, 2026, extended from April 21) represents typical large-scale procurement spanning 382 line items.
