UNSPSC 50472601: Canned or jarred organic all the year round cauliflowers

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic all the year round cauliflowers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472601 Canned or jarred organic all the year round cauliflowers (Commodity) covers shelf-stable, preserved cauliflower products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show little activity specifically targeting organic canned cauliflower. Instead, the code's recent opportunities reflect broader canned and frozen vegetable procurement across state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments—with cauliflower appearing as one line item among dozens of shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables in larger food service contracts. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this family include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state-supported living centers and hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (Gwinnett County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and county-level nutrition and social services departments. These entities typically bundle organic or specialty produce into comprehensive food service RFPs and IFBs rather than issuing standalone solicitations for individual vegetable items.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas HHSC posting the heaviest volume of food service procurements covering state-supported living centers and hospitals. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026, bids due August 25, 2026) for consumables and food items at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, covering 20 line items including prepared foods and supplies with annual contract value estimated near $1.5 million; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (posted October 13, 2026, quotes due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, bids due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive school nutrition food procurement across four schools with hundreds of line items emphasizing whole grain and low-sodium options. Canned or jarred vegetables typically appear as line items priced per case, with F.O.B. Destination delivery, seven-day or 72-hour fulfillment windows, and compliance with USDA Grade B or better standards and FDA labeling requirements. Organic specification is rarely called out in recent opportunities; most solicitations accept "or approved equivalent" substitutions for brand-specific items, making organic certification a differentiator rather than a baseline requirement.
