UNSPSC 50466508: Canned or jarred tokyo cross turnips

The variety of turnips known as tokyo cross turnips that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466508 Canned or jarred Tokyo cross turnips is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of recent state and local procurement activity. The posted opportunities under this code span a broad range of food products — canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, and supplemental food for state hospitals and supported living centers — but do not include Tokyo cross turnips or specialty vegetable items. State and local buyers using this code are issuing solicitations for mainstream food commodities that serve institutional food service operations.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdiction types: school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Muscogee County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County in Georgia), state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, Ben Hill County Schools), and purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts). Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri, Florida), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Texas, with additional activity in Illinois and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (IFB S2910000017145), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of supplemental food and consumable products with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. School nutrition programs consistently structure awards on a line-item basis with multiple vendor eligibility, while correctional and health facility procurements generally seek single or limited-vendor awards. The code shows substantial recent activity but does not align with its nominal scope of Tokyo cross turnips.
