UNSPSC 50466105: Canned or jarred iceplant spinach

The variety of new zrealand spinach known as iceplant spinach that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466105 Canned or jarred iceplant spinach (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, though the recent opportunities block contains no active solicitations specifically for this item. The code sits within the broader institutional food-service market where state and local governments—departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, school districts, and veterans facilities—source canned vegetables as part of weekly or seasonal food supply contracts. State and local buyers typically procure canned spinach alongside dozens or hundreds of other canned produce items, fresh vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods under consolidated food-service agreements, rather than as standalone line-item purchases. The solicitations in the block demonstrate the scale and structure of these procurements: contracts spanning 200 to 900+ line items, annual values ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million, and delivery to multiple facilities across a single district or statewide system.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County in Virginia, Douglas County and Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with contracts running July through June to align with fiscal and academic calendars. Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. A representative opportunity is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million and pricing structured as firm, fixed unit rates; the procurement encompasses NIGP classes covering food service and canteen operations. Another is Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for school food products across multiple categories with Buy American requirements and monthly pricing adjustments permitted. Neither opportunity lists canned spinach explicitly in the summaries provided, and the code shows no dedicated, recent, spinach-specific solicitation activity in the dataset.
