UNSPSC 50473702: Canned or jarred organic fino fennel

The variety of organic fennel known as organic fino fennel that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473702 Canned or jarred organic fino fennel is a Commodity code that in practice sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span state and local food service procurement broadly — state health and human services agencies, county nutrition programs, school districts, and corrections departments — but the opportunities themselves cover large, diverse consumables portfolios (hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies) rather than fennel specifically. The code appears to function as a catch-all tag within broader food procurement RFBs and IFBs rather than marking fennel-specific solicitations. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are primarily state departments of health and human services operating state hospitals and residential care facilities, independent school districts operating nutrition programs across multiple campuses, county social services departments, and state corrections agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission emerges as a repeat issuer, appearing across multiple solicitations for state supported living center consumables.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional solicitations in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitation S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better standards with delivery to Salem (bids due June 19, 2026, at $13.75 per case in the prior purchase). School districts including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia also solicit under this code for comprehensive food and kitchen product procurement spanning hundreds of line items to support multiple school locations over a 12-month period. The code shows active but broadly scoped procurement rather than specific demand for canned or jarred organic fino fennel; vendors pursuing opportunities here should expect to quote large, varied consumables portfolios with firm fixed pricing, F.O.B. Destination delivery terms, and compliance with USDA standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and state-specific certifications.
