UNSPSC 50474705: Canned or jarred organic islena malanga

The variety of organic malanga known as organic islena malanga that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474705 Canned or jarred organic islena malanga is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single organic root-vegetable product, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct activity for that item and instead reflect broad-based food procurement across multiple categories. State and local governments issuing under this code span institutional food service buyers—state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers and state hospitals, county and municipal purchasing divisions, school nutrition programs, and state correctional departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting consumable and food products for multiple state-supported living centers. The actual work being solicited encompasses shelf-stable canned and packaged foods (canned vegetables, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, condiments), fresh and frozen produce, dairy products, meat and seafood, bakery items, and food service supplies (containers, napkins, straws, gloves, serving trays). Delivery is typically F.O.B. Destination with responses to IFB or informal written quote (IWQ) notices, firm fixed unit pricing, and response windows of one to two weeks. Most solicitations require minimum three vendor references, proof of liability insurance, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, and E-Verify certification.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with additional postings from Oregon and Illinois. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumables and food service supplies for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, and earlier solicited similar products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) and statewide supplemental food for state hospitals and living centers (IFB HHS0016792V2, originally due March 19, 2026, with a potential contract value of $4.5 million across three years). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted IWQ 140229 on October 13, 2026 (quotes due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and canned vegetables. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued an IFB on May 19, 2026 (bids due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition products across four school locations, and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia posted a comprehensive school nutrition food bid on May 11, 2026 (sealed bids due June 5, 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts, solicited cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended to May 4, 2026) for distribution to multiple correctional facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned tomatoes bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois; no recent Oregon potato solicitation (S2910000017145, due July 27, 2026) provided sufficient specification detail for characterization.
