UNSPSC 50466852: Canned or jarred sinquas

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

UNSPSC 50466852 Canned or jarred sinquas, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations, though direct solicitations naming sinquas specifically are rare in recent activity. Instead, the code appears most commonly within larger food procurement vehicles where canned vegetables—including tomatoes, peppers, and other canned produce—are itemized alongside dozens or hundreds of other grocery line items. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code or its parent categories include school districts, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans homes. School districts dominate the recent activity, with multiple districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) posting food service bids that include canned vegetables as components of broader grocery or produce contracts. Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Illinois Veterans Home also appear as repeat buyers in the recent-opportunities block, each issuing multiple bids for food products in which canned goods are itemized.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia in particular), with secondary presence in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, which spans NIGP classes covering canned and specialty food items; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases), due April 6, 2026, which explicitly names canned vegetables as a line item and specifies USDA Grade B or better standards with sodium limits; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition procurement due June 15, 2026, which includes canned fruits and vegetables among hundreds of line items; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323), due April 27, 2026, which requires vendors to supply groceries including canned goods to 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. Canned vegetables typically command firm fixed pricing within annual contracts, with price adjustments permitted only at renewal or via CPI indexing, and are evaluated on USDA compliance, specification adherence, and competitive pricing rather than as standalone commodities.
