UNSPSC 50466804: Canned or jarred arrow root

The type of vegetable known as arrow root that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466804 Canned or jarred arrow root (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations over the past six months, with recent food-service and nutrition-program bids concentrated instead on broader grocery procurement, fresh produce, protein supplies, and prepared foods for school districts, corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies.

State and local procurement under food and consumable codes currently emphasizes volume purchasing by school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and state health facilities seeking established distributors and branded commodity suppliers rather than specialty items. Issuing bodies—primarily school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System; state departments including Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the State of Illinois; and regional buying cooperatives—are running large annual food-service bids with firm fixed pricing, multiple line items spanning hundreds of products, and contract values ranging from approximately $4.4 million to $9 million. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026) covering direct delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with recent solicitations issued across February through June 2026. Bidders competing in this space typically operate as primary or secondary food-service vendors meeting USDA compliance, Buy American requirements, HACCP certification, and delivery commitments to multiple school sites or state facilities on weekly or as-needed schedules.
