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, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The code nominally describes a specific preserved vegetable product, yet the ten most recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit broad food and consumable products for institutional food service — school district cafeterias, state correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and state-supported child nutrition programs. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging or tagging error in the source system; none of the posted solicitations name salsify as a line item or even reference preserved vegetables as a discrete category. Activity under this code appears driven by institutional bulk food procurement rather than specialty or organic product sourcing.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Human Services), state criminal justice departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller), and state nutrition or food service programs (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). The most recent and largest opportunities are concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Virginia and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas, due May 4, 2026, covering approximately 382 line items of proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and staple foods; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026; and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for grocery items supporting 6,900 daily lunch participants across nearly 19,000 students, due April 29, 2026. The code does not support pursuit unless your firm supplies institutional bulk food products at scale rather than specialty preserved goods.
