UNSPSC 50474122: Canned or jarred organic salsify

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

UNSPSC 50474122 Canned or jarred organic salsify is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code centers on institutional bulk food purchasing for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, county social services, and other public operations, encompassing shelf-stable proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, grains, condiments, canned vegetables, and consumable food service supplies rather than organic salsify specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois, and the State of Georgia purchasing divisions. The scope of work reflects institutional food service operations: the Texas HHSC Procurement and Contracting Services division issues recurring IFBs for food and consumable products to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals across multiple facilities and geographic areas; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division procures cafeteria food products for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five geographic regions; Gwinnett County solicits informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items to support county senior services; and state-level purchasing divisions coordinate cooperative food procurement across multiple agencies and facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs between May and August 2026 for food and consumable products serving the Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017798 and HHS0017799, due August 25, 2026) and the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), with the supplemental statewide procurement (HHS0016792v2) covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products across state hospitals and supported living centers with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and a bid response deadline of March 19, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products to TDCJ warehouse locations across five Texas geographic areas (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026) with approximately 382 line items and firm fixed FOB Destination pricing. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for county senior services (due October 19, 2026), and the State of Georgia issued a competitive bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Bidders must respond to minimum thresholds (90 to 95 percent of line items), meet exact specification and packaging requirements, and arrange on-site delivery within specified time windows; awards are based on best value to the state rather than lowest price alone, with contract terms typically running September 1 through August 31 with optional renewal periods.
