UNSPSC 50473100: Canned or jarred organic chives

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

UNSPSC 50473100 Canned or jarred organic chives is a Commodity code that covers packaged organic chive products; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of organic chives specifically. Instead, the opportunities show solicitations for broad food service categories—including fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods—where organic chives may appear as one line item among hundreds. State and local government food service operations procure under this code as part of comprehensive nutritional supply contracts, particularly for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions that source food in bulk through ongoing annual or multi-year agreements.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County School System) and state agencies serving institutional populations (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Veterans Home, and others). Geographic activity concentrates in the South and mid-Atlantic regions—Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Oregon show the heaviest recent posting volume. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering 210 line items for state supported living centers statewide with a historical monthly value of $1.5 million); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (2000004323, due April 27, 2026, requiring minimum bidding on 76 items for delivery to 45 schools plus distribution centers); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases at $13.75 per case from prior purchase). These contracts typically run July 1 to June 30 with renewal options, require firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery, mandate compliance with federal nutrition and safety standards, and emphasize Buy American provisions and HACCP certification.
