UNSPSC 50473607: Canned or jarred organic palla rossa zorzi precoce endives

The variety of organic endives known as organic palla rossa zorzi precoce endives that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473607 Canned or jarred organic palla rossa zorzi precoce endives is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom tier of the UNSPSC hierarchy, specifying a narrow product line — organic endives in preserved form. In practice, state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not reflect the narrow UNSPSC definition. Recent solicitations posted under this code describe broad food service procurement across multiple product categories, dominated by shelf-stable and refrigerated proteins, vegetables, grains, dairy, and food service consumables sourced by state health and human services agencies, county governments, and school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple bids for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals, including IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center canteen and campus consumables, 22 line items, response due October 23, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumables, response due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 (1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces, response due October 19, 2026) to serve senior programs. School districts in Georgia — Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools — have posted multi-category food bids encompassing fresh, frozen, and preserved items for district-wide school nutrition programs. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products to supply multiple warehouse locations across five geographic areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum).

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple solicitations (HHS0018082, HHS0017449, HHS0017872, and HHS0016792v2 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years) for state-operated residential and medical facilities. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Burke County) and Gwinnett County have posted school nutrition and senior services food bids. Oregon Department of Corrections posted a targeted solicitation for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, response due June 19, 2026, prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5% applied at evaluation). The Illinois Department of Human Services posted FY-27 IVHQ weekly food order bids with brand-specific or equivalent requirements. The code shows material recent activity but a mismatch between its narrow UNSPSC definition and the actual scope of work being solicited — state and local procurement offices appear to use this code for general institutional food service purchasing that spans dozens of product types, not specifically for canned organic endives.
