UNSPSC 50466113: Canned or jarred space spinach

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

UNSPSC 50466113 Canned or jarred space spinach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The nine opportunities posted in the source material show that this code is applied primarily to broader food-service and cafeteria procurement initiatives rather than to canned spinach specifically. State and local governments use this code tier—along with dozens of parallel commodity codes—to tag comprehensive food contracts that encompass multiple product lines: proteins, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, dry goods, condiments, canned vegetables, and food service supplies. The actual work solicited under the code spans institutional food service supply for state health agencies, corrections facilities, school districts, and county senior services; vendors typically respond to line-item-based procurement that requires firm pricing, USDA Grade compliance, delivery within seven days, and submission of three business references and company qualifications. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), the Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and the State of Illinois. This represents a mix of state departments, county governments, and school districts. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery required within seven days; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, pasta, and vegetables (due October 19, 2026) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences applied; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). The code shows consistent activity across institutional food service supply but does not reflect procurement specifically targeting canned spinach products; suppliers should treat this code as a proxy for line-item participation in larger food-service contracts rather than as a dedicated spinach category.
