UNSPSC 50466816: Canned or jarred cha-om

The type of vegetable known as cha-om that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466816 Canned or jarred cha-om, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent activity aligned with its specific product scope. The code nominally names a Southeast Asian herb product, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve broad food procurement for institutional nutrition programs — school districts, state correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and state veteran homes sourcing canned vegetables, produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods in volume through RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs. The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the wide-ranging commodity purchases being solicited suggests either misclassification in source data or that canned cha-om does not represent a meaningful procurement category in state and local purchasing. No recent solicitations name canned cha-om specifically; all opportunities are general food supply contracts that encompass canned and fresh goods across multiple categories.

Activity concentrates in school districts across Georgia and Missouri, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois Veterans Home, and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia. Georgia school districts dominate the recent record — Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Burke County boards of education all issued food procurement notices between February and June 2026 — along with Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District issuing two separate grocery solicitations (RFQs due April 29, 2026). Texas issued two major HHS food and consumables ITBs (one due July 13, 2026 with estimated historical value of $1.5 million; another with potential three-year value of $4.5 million). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued canned-tomato and canned-tomato-paste ITBs in January and February 2026 (closing February 9 and March 9, respectively). The State of Illinois Veterans Home issued quarterly RFQs for weekly food orders (one due February 24, 2026; another due June 26, 2026). No set-asides, incumbent vendors, or awards appear in the record. Given the code's specificity to a product not appearing in any of the recent solicitations, this code shows little relevant procurement activity worth pursuing at this time.
