UNSPSC 50466809: Canned or jarred banana leaves

The type of vegetable known as banana leaves that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466809 Canned or jarred banana leaves (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity focused on institutional food service operations, though recent opportunities indexed under this code do not consistently reflect the nominal commodity scope. The source shows the code tagged to a mix of school nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities acquiring broad food and consumables portfolios rather than banana leaves specifically. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, State of Georgia), county school systems (Douglas County, Burke County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County, Savannah-Chatham, Fairfax County), and specialized districts such as the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts posting annual grocery and produce solicitations for July 2026 through June 2027 contract periods. These procurement bodies acquire hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, frozen foods, canned goods, and consumable supplies rather than specialized items such as banana leaves.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and select Western states. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple food and consumables bids (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) for state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide with historical values around $1.5 million to $4.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections posted canned tomato solicitations (S2910000016089, S2910000015837) with approximately $52,000–$65,000 historical values and a five percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders; and Georgia school districts (Douglas County SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs, Burke County and Ben Hill County nutrition programs, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham SCCPSS, and Muscogee County) issued RFPs and IFBs with estimated annual values ranging from $1.1 million to $9 million. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy posted quarterly food orders (26497DVAQUINCB52821, FY-27 IVHQ quarterly bid due June 26, 2026; 26497DVAQUINCB51106, FY-26 IVHQ quarterly RFQ due February 24, 2026). Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, bids due April 27, 2026) serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. The code shows no relevant recent activity specifically for banana leaves; the indexed opportunities reflect institutional food procurement at broad commodity and product-category scope.
