UNSPSC 50466836: Canned or jarred lily bulb

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

UNSPSC 50466836 Canned or jarred lily bulb, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a horticultural product—preserved lily bulbs—yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code solicit food products for institutional food service operations: weekly food orders for veterans' homes, grocery supply for school nutrition programs, canned tomatoes and tomato paste for corrections facilities, and fresh produce for school districts. These solicitations span RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri issuing bodies, but none involve lily bulbs or any horticultural commodity. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement databases or a code misapplication by the issuing offices themselves.

The recent opportunities under this code record span state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and municipal school districts, and veterans' home systems. Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school systems including Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System appear repeatedly or with substantial contract values. Geographic clustering is evident in Georgia (six distinct school-district solicitations), Texas (multiple HHSC procurements with statewide serving requirements and estimated values ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million annually), Oregon (two corrections department tomato procurements), and Illinois (two quarterly food orders from a veterans' home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0017449, IFB, July 13, 2026 due date, covering 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers with prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato bid (S2910000017145, ITB, June 19, 2026 due date, approximately 7,616 cases at prior pricing of $13.75 per case), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026 due date, serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools). Because the code itself does not match the work being bought, potential vendors should verify category assignment with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
