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 that state and local governments buy primarily as part of broader food service procurement for institutional meal programs. The recent solicitations show that this code appears within large-scale food supply contracts for school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional institutions, where canned vegetables are ordered alongside dozens or hundreds of other food line items rather than as standalone purchases. State education agencies, county and independent school districts, state health and human services commissions, and state corrections departments issue these solicitations, typically through IFB, RFP, or RFQ notices. School districts in Georgia (Douglas County, Burke County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas (HHSC El Paso), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Oregon (Department of Corrections) have posted recent food service procurements that likely encompass canned vegetables under broader commodity classifications. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers issuing multiple food solicitations throughout the first half of 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Upper Midwest (Missouri) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia) and Great Plains (Illinois). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (bids due July 13, 2026, estimated historical value $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for canned tomatoes (bids due March 9, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary and middle schools plus seven distribution kitchens (bids due April 27, 2026). Pricing in these procurements is typically firm-fixed per unit with FOB Destination delivery; Buy American and USDA grade compliance are standard requirements. School districts and institutional buyers emphasize whole grain and low-sodium specifications, HACCP plans, and compliance with Child Nutrition meal pattern guidelines when applicable. Bidders must carry general liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence and meet debarment and federal work authorization certifications. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent opportunities reviewed; competition remains open to all qualified vendors.
