UNSPSC 50466850: Canned or jarred purslane

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

UNSPSC 50466850 Canned or jarred purslane, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement; the recent opportunities block contains no bids specifically requesting purslane. State and local governments do purchase canned and jarred vegetables—including tomatoes, peppers, and produce items—through their school nutrition, corrections, and health and human services food-service operations, but purslane as a discrete line item does not appear in the representative solicitations from Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri school districts, state corrections departments, and state health agencies issued between January and June 2026. When canned vegetables do appear in these procurements, they are typically bundled with broader grocery or produce categories rather than specified by individual species.

The code shows no recent market activity strong enough to support a pursue decision. School districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System) and state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission) are the primary issuing bodies for food procurement, with operations concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. These buyers issue recurring annual or multi-year IFBs and RFPs for food supply and grocery items, but the solicitations name specific products (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, dairy, proteins) or broad categories (canned goods, frozen vegetables, consumable food products) rather than purslane. Unless your firm has an existing supply relationship or purslane is part of a larger specialty vegetable or ethnic-foods product line, this code presents negligible near-term opportunity. Monitor school district nutrition and institutional food-service solicitations in your target geographies for any emergence of specialty produce lines, but do not prioritize purslane sourcing as a standalone pursuit.
