UNSPSC 50472800: Canned or jarred organic chards

The type of organic vegetable known as organic chards that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472800 Canned or jarred organic chards is a Class code that describes shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal activity specifically for organic chards. Instead, the code appears to capture broader food-service procurement by state agencies, school districts, and county governments for canned vegetables as part of comprehensive meal-service and consumable-supply contracts. When organic chards are cited, they typically appear as one line item among dozens in larger food-service solicitations rather than as a standalone category. State and local buyers using this code include state health and human services departments operating residential facilities, state corrections agencies, county social services departments, and public school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies span multiple states and procurement types, including IFBs from Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers, the Oregon Department of Corrections for institutional food supplies, and county school districts across Georgia.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, with solicitations posted in August and June 2026 (HHS0017872 and HHS0017449, due dates August 25 and July 13 respectively) encompassing canned vegetables alongside prepared foods and food-service supplies. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB on June 5, 2026 (due June 19) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited informal written quotes on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables under IWQ 140229. School districts in Georgia, including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bid due June 5, 2026), have issued comprehensive food procurement solicitations encompassing canned fruits and vegetables as part of Child Nutrition meal-pattern compliance. No recent standalone organic-chards procurement was identified in the source material.
