UNSPSC 50475811: Canned or jarred organic sea kale

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

UNSPSC 50475811 Canned or jarred organic sea kale is a Commodity code that nominally addresses preserved leafy vegetables; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities under this code show minimal activity aligned with the specific product scope. The limited opportunities posted reflect broad food-service procurement by state agencies, counties, and school districts—principally Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Georgia counties, Oregon state agencies, and school nutrition programs—but the actual line items solicited emphasize shelf-stable staples such as canned proteins, vegetables, beans, condiments, and prepared foods rather than organic sea kale specifically. The code appears to serve as a catch-all classification within state procurement systems for miscellaneous canned or preserved food items, and business development professionals should verify at point-of-contact whether organic sea kale or similar specialty preserved vegetables are actually called for in any given opportunity, as the code's abstract name diverges substantially from the bulk commodities state and local buyers are currently sourcing.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables serving state-supported living centers, including HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, bids due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017872 (El Paso State Supported Living Center), with historical annual values reaching $1.5 million; these solicitations cover dozens of line items spanning prepared foods and food-service supplies with seven-day delivery required on FOB Destination terms. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, serving senior services. Oregon Department of Corrections posted S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior award at $13.75 per case and five percent state-preference evaluation for Oregon-fabricated goods. School districts in Georgia—including Burke County Public Schools (sealed bids due June 5, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, bids due June 15, 2026)—procure hundreds of food line items annually under Buy American Act constraints and USDA Child Nutrition standards. No recent opportunities explicitly name organic sea kale as a line item.
