UNSPSC 50472000: Canned or jarred organic broccoli

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

UNSPSC 50472000 Canned or jarred organic broccoli is a Class code that encompasses shelf-stable preserved vegetables procured by state and local food-service entities, though recent state and local solicitations show the code captures a broader food-supply function than the title alone suggests. State and local governments buying under this code source not only specific canned and jarred items but entire food-service procurement categories—fresh, frozen, and dry proteins; dairy; condiments; and consumable supplies—for institutional food programs. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies, Georgia state government), counties (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), with repeat activity from Texas HHS facilities and Georgia school nutrition programs. The work involves sourcing commodity food items for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior service centers, school cafeterias, and state hospitals, with delivery typically required within seven days of order and pricing evaluated on a per-unit or per-case basis.

Geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center food and supplies, due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for senior services (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better with 5 percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences (due June 19, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each posted comprehensive school nutrition food bids spanning nearly 400 line items with Buy American compliance and HACCP requirements for the 2026-2027 school year. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB (304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) encompassed approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas with firm, fixed pricing on FOB Destination terms.
