UNSPSC 50466115: Canned or jarred water spinach

The type of vegetable known as water spinach that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466115 Canned or jarred water spinach, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity—no opportunities in the source align directly with this specific product line. The sole opportunity coded to this UNSPSC, Illinois Veterans Home's FY-27 quarterly food order (RFQ 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026), covers broad weekly food supply with brand-specific items or approved equivalents but does not itemize canned water spinach as a line item.

State and local food service procurement under related canned-vegetable codes shows sustained activity across school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities. Issuing bodies include corrections systems (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas HHSC), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Ben Hill County), and veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home). Representative recent procurements include the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) and the Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items including canned goods for statewide state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with sustained activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Evaluation typically centers on USDA grade compliance, sodium content limits (commonly 240 mg per 100 grams), minimum shelf life (typically twelve months), FOB Destination pricing inclusive of freight, and lowest responsive bid from responsible vendors; school districts increasingly emphasize whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, Buy American compliance, and HACCP certification.
