UNSPSC 50472402: Canned or jarred organic gobbi cardoons

The variety of organic cardoons known as organic gobbi cardoons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472402 Canned or jarred organic gobbi cardoons is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations do not reflect procurement activity under this narrow code specification. The posted opportunities describe broad food service provisioning for state institutions, school nutrition programs, and correctional facilities — spanning fresh, frozen, dried, canned, and specialty food products across dozens of line items per solicitation. None of the opportunities explicitly reference organic cardoons or identify canned cardoons as a discrete line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are all soliciting consumables for canteens, cafeterias, and food service operations, but their scope encompasses standard shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and prepared items rather than specialty or organic produce categories.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0016792V2, HHS0017449, HHS0017872, HHS0018082) spanning state supported living centers, with posted dates from May through October 2026 and contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years in one procurement. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) both solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids with response dates in May and June 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026. Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items in October 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity — the taxonomy designation does not align with what state and local procurement offices are actually buying under the recent opportunities tagged to it.
