UNSPSC 50472003: Canned or jarred organic broccoli raab

The variety of organic broccoli known as organic broccoli raab that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472003 Canned or jarred organic broccoli raab, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned or jarred vegetables that state and local governments procure as line items within broader food service contracts. Recent state and local solicitations show this code applied to a narrow product category within much larger consumable-food procurements serving institutional food service operations—state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The work is not specialized procurement of organic broccoli raab alone; rather, this code identifies a single stock-keeping unit within competitive bids encompassing dozens or hundreds of food line items, often priced per case or per unit across multiple commodity codes. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-supported living centers and correctional facilities under state agency administration. Food service procurement at these jurisdictions is routine and recurring, with contract terms typically running July-through-June fiscal years or calendar years, often with renewal or extension options built in.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026) covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with annual case quantities of 1 to 24 per item; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (response due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026), which demonstrates that similar preserved-vegetable procurements carry substantial volumes and include state and Oregon-resident bidder preferences. The code shows active use but only as one line item among many within larger institutional food contracts; standalone procurement of organic broccoli raab has not appeared in recent state and local postings reviewed.
