UNSPSC 50466500: Canned or jarred turnip greens

The type of vegetable known as turnip greens that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466500 Canned or jarred turnip greens is a Class code that encompasses canned and jarred leafy green vegetables purchased by state and local jurisdictions to supply institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers. State and local government procurement under this code reflects a broader institutional food procurement activity spanning fresh produce, frozen items, dairy products, proteins, and canned goods, with canned turnip greens appearing as a line item within larger multi-category food service solicitations rather than as a standalone category.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food products that include canned or jarred turnip greens are primarily school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), correctional and institutional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices on behalf of state facilities. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs serving as the primary volume driver. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 11, 2026), covering 210 line items including canned goods under NIGP class numbers; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services' IFB for approximately 900 grocery line items including canned vegetables for the 2026-27 school year (responses due April 29, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for a comprehensive school nutrition food bid (due June 15, 2026) encompassing multiple food categories with canned items specified. The code shows active procurement volume driven by school districts executing annual or multi-year term contracts with firm fixed pricing, quarterly or annual renewal cycles, and multi-vendor or line-item award structures. Bidding is competitive and open unless Buy American Act provisions apply, and prices typically remain firm for 12 months with adjustments limited to documented third-party indices such as USDA or Consumer Price Index formulas.
