UNSPSC 50474201: Canned or jarred organic curly kale

The variety of organic kale known as organic curly kale that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474201 Canned or jarred organic curly kale is a Commodity code that describes canned and jarred kale products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct demand for organic curly kale specifically. Instead, the code appears tagged to broader food-service solicitations where canned vegetables—including but not limited to kale—are bundled within larger consumables procurements. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) facility support, county and municipal food-service operations, school districts, and corrections departments. The work actually being bought consists of bulk food products for institutional cafeterias, canteens, dining operations, and on-campus food service at state supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and senior centers. Most opportunities frame canned and fresh produce as line items within broader food-product bids rather than as standalone specialty items; vendors typically bid hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and supplies simultaneously. HHSC solicitations dominate the recent record, with multiple state-facility food-service contracts posted across Texas in the past five months.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center, an IFB encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies with annual case quantities from 1 to 24 per item and F.O.B. Destination delivery required within seven days. HHSC also solicited in June 2026 (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, and in May 2026 (IFB HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026) for supplemental food and consumables statewide across state hospitals and supported living centers, a 210-line-item procurement with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (sealed bid, due June 5, 2026) issued comprehensive food bids spanning nearly 400 line items for nutrition programs across multiple schools. The Oregon Department of Corrections (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior purchase benchmark of $13.75 per case. Opportunities emphasize firm fixed pricing F.O.B. Destination, vendor references, compliance with federal food standards and USDA grades, delivery within 30 to 72 hours, and Buy American Act adherence in school and institutional contexts.
