UNSPSC 50473013: Canned or jarred organic shanghai d bok choy

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic shanghai d bok choy that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473013 Canned or jarred organic shanghai d bok choy (Commodity) represents a narrow food product category that sees virtually no direct solicitation activity at the state and local level. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code or closely related food-procurement codes show that agencies purchase canned and jarred vegetables as part of much broader consumables bids—typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and food service supplies rather than solicited individually. The work being bought is food supply for state-operated facilities: state-supported living centers, state hospitals, correctional institutions, state university housing, school districts, and county senior services programs. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, state correctional departments, state university systems, county boards of commissioners, and school nutrition programs across multiple states. No recent opportunities target organic shanghai bok choy specifically; canned vegetables in general procurement are listed as commodity items with "or approved equivalent" language, meaning individual SKUs and sourcing preferences shift based on supplier availability and cost competitiveness.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable foods serving state-supported living centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026, with delivery required within seven days of order; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million; HHS0016792V2 with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, 7,616 cases, previous purchase at $13.75 per case). Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each issued comprehensive school nutrition food bids spanning hundreds of line items. The code shows minimal focused demand; organic variants at the commodity level are exceptionally rare in state and local procurement, which emphasizes cost and supply stability over organic certification in institutional food service.
