UNSPSC 50466112: Canned or jarred sigmaleaf spinach

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

UNSPSC 50466112 Canned or jarred sigmaleaf spinach is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and nutrition supply contracts, though the recent solicitations tagged with this code show limited direct activity specific to spinach alone. State and local food service buyers—primarily school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional departments—source canned and jarred vegetables including spinach through master food supply and meal-planning contracts that aggregate dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, protein, dairy, and specialty categories. The work is solicited as part of child nutrition programs (K–12 school lunch and breakfast), institutional feeding for state hospitals and supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Issuing bodies span independent school districts and consolidated school systems (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state agencies managing health and human services facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). School districts dominate the recent opportunity mix, with multiple solicitations per quarter from single districts procuring annual or multi-year food supply contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County school systems), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Oregon (ODOC), and Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and contract renewal options through August 31, 2028; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. Most school district solicitations require firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods ranging from one year to multi-year terms, with price adjustments typically tied to CPI or USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices and limited to single-digit percentage increases; Buy American Act compliance is standard; and awards often permit single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
