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 under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, typically as part of broader food service supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and other institutional food operations. Recent opportunities show this code sits within larger food procurement ecosystems where school districts, state corrections departments, and health and human services agencies source dozens or hundreds of food line items simultaneously, with canned vegetables like spinach bundled alongside proteins, produce, dairy, and prepared foods rather than solicited in isolation.

School districts dominate recent activity under this code, with competitive sealed bids from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posting grocery procurement RFPs and IFBs in the past four months. State institutional buyers—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Department of Veterans Homes—also drive recurring activity under related commodity codes. Geographic concentration is strong in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with multiple school districts issuing parallel solicitations. The most representative recent opportunity is Ben Hill County Schools' IFB posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026, which encompasses multiple food categories including canned vegetables under Buy American requirements and HACCP compliance, with quarterly price adjustments permitted based on USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index benchmarks. Fairfax County Public Schools issued a large Master Grocery K-12 bid (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens, requiring minimum three-year business and food delivery experience and Buy American compliance. School districts typically award to lowest responsive responsible bidders based on firm fixed pricing held for 12 months, with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 annually and renewal options extending up to three or four additional years. Insurance requirements—generally $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability—and federal compliance certifications (debarment, E-Verify, anti-lobbying) are standard across all issuing bodies.
