UNSPSC 50473707: Canned or jarred organic tardo fennel

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

UNSPSC 50473707 Canned or jarred organic tardo fennel is a Commodity code that sits at the narrow end of the taxonomy for specialty preserved vegetables. State and local procurement activity under this code, however, shows no recent solicitations requesting canned or jarred organic tardo fennel specifically. The most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span food service and kitchen supplies procurement across multiple issuing bodies—state health and human services agencies, county nutrition programs, school districts, and state departments of corrections. The actual work being bought includes large-volume consumable food products for institutional food service: prepared foods (proteins, bakery items, frozen entrees), fresh and frozen produce, dairy, canned vegetables and fruits, condiments, and food service supplies (containers, napkins, trays, gloves). The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and State of Georgia), and Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections). Issuing bodies include state health agencies, state corrections departments, county governments, school districts, and state-level purchasing offices.

Representative recent opportunities show a mismatch between the UNSPSC code nomenclature and actual procurement scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods and food service supplies for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center—22 line items including french fries, chicken wings, containers, and napkins. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted IFB S2910000017145 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case from the prior February 2026 award, meeting USDA Grade B or better. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia solicited IFB 26271 (due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food across nearly 400 line items including fresh proteins, frozen vegetables, dairy, and dry goods, with Buy American Act requirements and USDA standards. The code shows little recent activity aligned to its stated commodity scope; canned or jarred organic tardo fennel does not appear in any of the posted opportunities, suggesting either very sparse demand or miscoding of institutional food service procurements under a specialized preserve-vegetable taxonomy.
