UNSPSC 50466805: Canned or jarred arrowhead

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

UNSPSC 50466805 Canned or jarred arrowhead is a Commodity code for specialized preserved vegetables that state and local governments purchase infrequently and in small volumes as part of broader food procurement initiatives. Recent activity under this code is minimal; the opportunities logged do not reference arrowhead specifically. State and local purchasing departments across multiple jurisdictions—including corrections departments, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and state veterans facilities—solicit canned and jarred vegetables as components of larger food service contracts, but arrowhead remains a niche item within those broader procurements. Where canned vegetables are specified, purchasing bodies typically call for USDA Grade B or better compliance, sodium limits (commonly 240 mg per 100 grams or less), minimum shelf life of twelve months, and compliance with FDA and USDA food safety standards.

Issuing bodies purchasing food supplies that may include items in this commodity tier span state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), school districts (elementary through high schools and central nutrition programs), and county boards of education across the Southeast and Southwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections and Veterans Homes, Georgia school districts (including Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County), and Ben Hill County Schools have posted food procurement RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs since January 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000016405 for tomato paste (due April 6, 2026) and S2910000016089 for tomato paste (due March 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 supplemental food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products (due June 15, 2026). Geographic concentration appears in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, with school districts and state correctional or health facilities accounting for the majority of identified activity. The code itself shows low transactional volume and does not represent a category driving significant procurement spend or vendor competition in the current state and local marketplace.
