UNSPSC 50472603: Canned or jarred organic autumn giant 3 cauliflowers

The variety of organic cauliflower known as organic autumn giant 3 cauliflowers that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472603 Canned or jarred organic autumn giant 3 cauliflowers is a Commodity code that nominally describes preserved organic cauliflower, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that specific product. Recent solicitations tagged to this code consist almost entirely of broad food service procurement for institutional cafeterias, canteens, and nutrition programs, encompassing hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, produce, condiments, and consumable supplies rather than specialty canned vegetables. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies operating supported living centers and state hospitals, county school districts, county social services departments, and state corrections facilities. The scope of work under this code in practice involves supplying recurring weekly or quarterly food orders to institutional food service operations statewide, with delivery to multiple locations per contract, firm fixed pricing on extensive line-item catalogs, compliance with USDA standards and food safety certifications (HACCP, E-Verify, debarment verification), and performance management through vendor reference checks and complaint resolution protocols.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals, including HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB due August 25, 2026) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB due July 13, 2026, with prior contract value of $1.5 million annually). Georgia school districts have issued multiple nutrition program food bids: Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, sealed bid due June 15, 2026, Buy American Act–compliant), Burke County Public Schools (IFB due June 5, 2026 with opening June 8, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (informal written quote IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned tomatoes bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases with prior purchase at $13.75 per case). The Illinois Department of Human Services posted a quarterly weekly food order (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). Contracts typically run one year with renewal and extension options, require FOB Destination pricing with freight included, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value.
