UNSPSC 50466806: Canned or jarred arugula

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

UNSPSC 50466806 Canned or jarred arugula (Commodity) does not reflect the activity visible in state and local solicitations under this code. The recent opportunities posted under 50466806 are overwhelmingly food-service procurement for public institutions—primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and state health and human services operations—spanning canned and fresh produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and broad grocery supply, not arugula specifically. State and local buyers use this code to tag institutional food contracts that include diverse produce and ingredient lines, many of which fall outside arugula's narrow scope. The issuing bodies are school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and individual facilities (Illinois Veterans Home, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Awards cluster in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and state facility food service dominating the procurement mix.

Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million annually), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food procurement including produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies across four schools (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 requiring weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026, minimum 76 items from the School Delivery section). Buyers across these solicitations require firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance, Buy American provisions where applicable, HACCP and food safety certification, and delivery within one to two weeks. If your firm supplies fresh produce, proteins, dairy, or specialty grocery items to institutional food service, this code sees steady state and local activity; if you specialize narrowly in arugula, the code's actual use does not align with your scope.
