UNSPSC 50472802: Canned or jarred organic fordhook giant chard

The variety of organic chard known as organic fordhook giant chard that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472802 Canned or jarred organic fordhook giant chard, a Commodity code, tracks state and local procurement of packaged organic leafy-green vegetables supplied in canned or jarred form for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code show mixed results: school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments issue broad food-supply RFPs and IFBs that encompass this item as one line among hundreds of food categories, but no recent opportunity explicitly names canned or jarred organic chard as a discrete procurement target. The actual buying under related codes centers on fresh produce, frozen vegetables, canned vegetables and fruits more broadly, and comprehensive food-service contracts where specific organic chard products appear as optional line items rather than primary drivers.

The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), school districts across multiple states (Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia), and transit or institutional cafeteria operators. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Virginia, with significant recent RFP and IFB activity posted between January and June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, IFB format, $1.5 million prior-period value), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across a cooperative buying group (estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million by area, due March 4, 2026). The code itself shows little direct targeting of organic chard; vendors pursuing this category should focus on comprehensive food-service and school-nutrition contracts where produce and canned-vegetable line items cluster, rather than discrete single-sku procurements.
