UNSPSC 50466855: Canned or jarred tassle grape-hyacinth

The type of vegetable known as tassle grape-hyacinth that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466855 Canned or jarred tassle grape-hyacinth is a Commodity code that captures what state and local governments actually purchase under food-product procurement categories — though the specific botanical item (tassle grape-hyacinth) does not appear in recent state and local solicitations. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code and related food categories show demand for broad grocery and food-service supply: canned vegetables (tomatoes, tomato paste), fresh produce (apples, bananas, peppers, leafy greens), proteins, dairy products, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies across K–12 school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Douglas County School System and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and specialized state facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state hospitals and supported living centers). A subset of buyers appears repeatedly—the Texas HHSC and DSHS system, Georgia school districts, and Oregon correctional facilities—indicating sustained, cyclical procurement rhythms tied to fiscal-year food-service renewals.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), spanning spring and early summer bid cycles (February through June 2026) aligned with July-start fiscal years. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, bids due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, $1.5 million historical spend, proposals due July 13, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products across eight categories with approximately 400 line items (bids due June 15, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract serving 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, bids due April 27, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery procurement for over 900 line items (electronic bids due April 29, 2026). Pricing models vary—some use firm, fixed rates for the initial term (HHSC allows up to 10 percent increases at renewal), others permit midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater with supporting documentation, and school districts frequently use USDA market indexes or produce terminal reports to establish baseline pricing. Buy American provisions appear in all school-district opportunities, HACCP compliance and food-safety certifications are standard, and most solicitations require $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability insurance. Payment terms cluster around Net 30 to Net 40 days post-delivery and acceptance.
