UNSPSC 50474118: Canned or jarred organic perilla

The variety of organic herbs known as organic perilla that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474118 Canned or jarred organic perilla, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement with minimal recent activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The most recent opportunities the source records do not substantively solicit canned or jarred organic perilla; instead, they tag broad food-supply contracts—including weekly grocery orders, cafeteria products for correctional and institutional facilities, and child nutrition services—with this highly specific code despite the procurements spanning hundreds of line items across diverse fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared foods. The code's narrow product definition (a single preserved vegetable) does not match the multi-category scope of these institutional food buys, signaling either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or incidental inclusion of perilla-adjacent items within larger grocery tenders. State and local buyers across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia are actively procuring institutional food supplies through school districts, correctional systems, health and human services agencies, and education departments, but the code shows no evidence of targeted procurement for organic perilla specifically.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million and estimated maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB 304T26300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) covering 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, and staples for multiple warehouses; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) requiring minimum bids on 76 of 89 items for delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens; and Rockwood R-VI School District's Child Nutrition Services grocery solicitation (due April 29, 2026, electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS) covering over 900 line items for approximately 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast daily participants. The code records no standout repeat buyers or geographic concentration—activity disperses across state departments, school districts, and corrections and health authorities in different states. Given the code's specificity and the absence of solicitations directly requesting canned or jarred organic perilla, pursuit under this code is not warranted unless a target buyer has explicitly named perilla products in recent RFQ or RFP documents outside this source.
