UNSPSC 50466108 Canned or jarred medania spinach is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred vegetable products, typically as line items within broader food supply contracts for institutional food service operations. The code sees active procurement across school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and corrections departments, which source canned vegetables—including spinach and other processed produce—as components of meal preparation for student populations, residents in state-supported living centers, and incarcerated individuals. Recent solicitations show canned vegetables embedded within larger food procurement efforts rather than as standalone specialty items; they appear as specified or substitutable line items within comprehensive food supply bids covering dozens to hundreds of products across multiple categories. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Illinois Veterans Home).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia school districts, Oregon corrections, Texas health agencies, Missouri school nutrition programs, Illinois veterans facilities, and Virginia school systems. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (304T26300CF, due May 4, 2026), which specified canned vegetables and other products across approximately 382 line items for multiple TDCJ warehouse locations; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), procuring food and consumable products for state supported living centers with contract value historically $1.5 million annually; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026), seeking comprehensive grocery supply including canned goods for 45 schools; and Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items IFB in Missouri (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027, due April 29, 2026), encompassing over 900 line items across food categories for the 2026-27 school year.
