UNSPSC 50472004: Canned or jarred organic chinese broccoli

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

UNSPSC 50472004 Canned or jarred organic Chinese broccoli, a Commodity code, covers specialty preserved vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and nutrition operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code is sparse and does not reflect a distinct market segment. State and local school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies do issue widespread food procurement solicitations, but these opportunities typically aggregate canned and jarred vegetables—including tomatoes, mixed vegetables, and other preserved produce—into consolidated line items within larger grocery or food supply contracts rather than isolating organic Chinese broccoli as a standalone commodity. School nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Oregon, along with corrections agencies and state health facilities, actively bid food supply contracts with dozens to hundreds of line items each, yet none of the recent postings explicitly name canned or jarred Chinese broccoli, whether organic or conventional, as a discrete procurement line or set-aside requirement.

The issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Burke County Public Schools), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems, with activity concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District child nutrition services grocery procurement covering over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). While these solicitations reference USDA standards compliance and allow equivalent products, none surfaces organic Chinese broccoli as a specified or frequently bid item; vendors pursuing this code should validate actual demand through school nutrition directors and facility food service coordinators before investing in qualification and compliance efforts.
