UNSPSC 50466857: Canned or jarred taro leaf

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

UNSPSC 50466857 Canned or jarred taro leaf is a Commodity code that sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity; the single posted opportunity under this specific code does not represent taro leaf purchasing. State and local governments buying canned or jarred produce items—including the broader class of preserved vegetables—source through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and institutional food service operations, but taro leaf remains a niche item with minimal documented solicitation. When state and local bodies do procure preserved vegetables in volume, they typically issue general food supply RFPs or IFBs that span dozens or hundreds of line items across protein, dairy, grain, and produce categories rather than single-commodity procurement documents. The issuing bodies active in this broader preserved-vegetable space include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts ranging from small county systems to large metropolitan districts, and specialized institutional support agencies; these entities issue multiple procurement actions annually under different UNSPSC codes as they manage ongoing food service operations.

Recent opportunities tagged to related preserved-vegetable codes show activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center under a cost-plus-index structure with a historical spend baseline of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000017145 in June 2026 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with an incumbent reference price of $13.75 per case. School nutrition programs including Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System have posted multiple food supply solicitations between January and May 2026 seeking comprehensive grocery coverage including canned and preserved items. No recent opportunity explicitly names canned or jarred taro leaf as a line item in these solicitations, and the code shows minimal standalone procurement activity suitable for vendors specializing in this specific commodity.
