UNSPSC 50466820: Canned or jarred dandelion greens

The type of vegetable known as dandelion greens that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466820 Canned or jarred dandelion greens, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—preserved dandelion greens as a standalone product—does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in the source records. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code target broad food procurement (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, cafeteria supplies, school nutrition programs, supplemental foods for state facilities) rather than dandelion greens specifically. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual commodities being purchased suggests either a cataloging error in how jurisdictions have tagged opportunities or a code assignment that does not reflect current procurement practice. Issuing bodies in the recent records span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Muscogee County and Douglas County in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia with scattered activity in Illinois.

The opportunities that reference dandelion greens or are nominally tagged under this code instead solicit for broad categories: canned and fresh produce items, weekly food orders for institutional facilities, cafeteria supplies, and school nutrition programs. Representative recent solicitations 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), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for a Master Grocery K-12 contract to supply 45 schools and distribution centers across the county (due April 27, 2026). School districts typically evaluate on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, compliance with Buy American and nutritional standards, and delivery capability to multiple sites. The absence of recent opportunities specifically for canned dandelion greens as a line item suggests this code carries limited procurement activity in current state and local practice.
