UNSPSC 50472602: Canned or jarred organic alverda cauliflowers

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic alverda cauliflowers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472602 Canned or jarred organic alverda cauliflowers is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span a much broader set of food-service and institutional food procurement — including general consumable foods for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, state correctional facilities, and state hospital supply chains. While the code nominally names organic canned cauliflower, the actual solicitations being posted under it encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, condiments, canned and fresh vegetables, and food-service supplies. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ, Illinois, Oregon, Georgia), county boards and school districts (Gwinnett County in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and specialized facilities (state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals). This suggests the code is being used as a catch-all tag for institutional food procurement rather than as a specific identifier for organic cauliflower purchases.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumable foods at state-supported living centers (HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872, due August 25, 2026) and a larger supplemental food and consumables IFB serving multiple state facilities statewide (HHS0016792V2, with a three-year potential value of $4,500,000). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners is seeking informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each posted school nutrition food bids spanning nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued an IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products (304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned specifically with organic cauliflower procurement; it appears systematically misapplied to general institutional food sourcing.
