UNSPSC 50473014: Canned or jarred organic shantung cabbage

The variety of organic chinese cabbage known as organic shantung that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473014 Canned or jarred organic shantung cabbage is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables broadly procured by state and local food service operations—though recent opportunities show little activity specific to this exact product line. State and local governments buying under this code are predominantly state health and human services agencies operating institutional food services (state supported living centers, state hospitals), county and municipal school districts, county social services departments, and state corrections facilities. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers, alongside Georgia school districts and counties. The scope of actual purchasing under related vegetable-preservation codes involves large-volume institutional food sourcing: canned tomatoes, frozen produce, canned proteins, and other shelf-stable staples are routinely consolidated into broad food-service line-item bids serving hundreds of meal locations. Vendors compete on unit pricing, delivery to multiple sites, compliance with USDA grade and sodium standards, shelf-life requirements, and ability to fulfill large quarterly or annual orders at firm fixed rates.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products in 2026, including HHS0016792V2 (210 line items for state hospitals and living centers, 210-item scope, due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB, due July 13, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections procured approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 under IFB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026, previous award at $13.75 per case). Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid, due June 5, 2026)—each solicit hundreds of food line items annually. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 for 35 shelf-stable food items in October 2026 (due October 19, 2026). No recent solicitation specifically names canned or jarred organic shantung cabbage; the code shows little distinct recent activity and may overlap with broader vegetable or preserved-food codes that state and local buyers actually tag in their notices.
