UNSPSC 50473602: Canned or jarred organic castelfranco endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic castelfranco endives that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473602 Canned or jarred organic castelfranco endives, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly targeting this specific product. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly for organic castelfranco endives; instead, the opportunities reflect broad food procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health services agencies purchasing general groceries, produce, canned goods, and prepared foods under wider product categories. When state and local governments issue food solicitations under this code tier, they typically seek canned or jarred vegetables as part of larger food service contracts serving inmate populations, students, or residents in state-supported living facilities, with brand-specific requirements or approved equivalents allowed in most cases.

The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement statewide include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state correctional agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state health authorities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a response date of June 19, 2026, and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products including canned fruits and vegetables (response due June 15, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Illinois, with school nutrition programs representing the largest active buyer category. The code shows little specialized activity for organic endives specifically; opportunities frame procurement in broader commodity terms focused on USDA-graded canned vegetables meeting food safety and nutritional standards rather than premium organic produce variants.
