UNSPSC 50473614: Canned or jarred organic witloof zoom endives

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

UNSPSC 50473614 Canned or jarred organic witloof zoom endives is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code instead reflect broad food-service procurement by state agencies, school districts, and county governments buying shelf-stable and fresh consumables for institutional cafeterias, kitchens, and food-service programs — including proteins, dairy, canned vegetables, prepared entrees, and related kitchen supplies. The code's nominal focus on a single specialized vegetable product does not match the actual purchases being solicited, which span dozens of line items across multiple food categories. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple solicitations for state supported living centers), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts in Georgia, Gwinnett County, and the Oregon Department of Corrections. These are predominantly state-level health and corrections agencies, with secondary activity from county school nutrition programs.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs since May 2026 — HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables, 210 line items, up to $4.5 million over three years), HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 2026), HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due August 2026), and HHS0018082 (Lufkin canteen and campus consumables, 22 line items, due October 23, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case. School districts in Georgia — Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, and Gwinnett County — have posted competitive food bids for nutrition program supply covering approximately 300–400 line items each, with delivery to multiple school sites. The code shows no demonstrated recent activity specifically for canned or jarred organic endives as a standalone commodity; the tagging appears to be a cataloging mismatch rather than an indicator of active procurement demand under this Commodity's stated scope.
