UNSPSC 50466111: Canned or jarred savoy spinach

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

UNSPSC 50466111 Canned or jarred savoy spinach is a Commodity code tracking shelf-stable vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and senior services centers. Recent solicitations show that canned vegetables under this code are purchased as line items within larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone procurements; they appear alongside canned proteins, frozen produce, grains, dairy, and consumable kitchen supplies in multi-hundred-item comprehensive food bids. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County), and state departments managing institutional facilities. The scope of work centers on bulk purchasing of properly labeled, USDA-compliant canned vegetables meeting specified shelf-life, sodium, and packaging requirements, with delivery to central distribution centers or individual facility locations on FOB Destination terms.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for senior services (quotes due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across multiple categories for school nutrition, with bids due June 15, 2026.
