UNSPSC 50476101: Canned or jarred organic america spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic america spinach that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476101 Canned or jarred organic America spinach, Commodity, is solicited narrowly by state and local governments as part of broader food-service consumables procurements—typically bundled with dozens of other shelf-stable food products rather than as a standalone item. Recent state and local opportunities tag this code when purchasing canned vegetables, frozen vegetables, prepared proteins, condiments, and related food-service supplies for institutional cafeterias, kitchens, and nutrition programs. State departments of health and human services, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county departments of community services are the primary issuing bodies. Work under the code centers on fulfilling standing contracts for food distribution to facilities—state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional institutions, and school cafeterias across multiple locations—where pricing is firm and fixed for initial contract periods, with delivery required within 7 to 30 days of order receipt on F.O.B. Destination terms. Bidders must meet USDA grade and FDA labeling requirements, provide shelf-life certifications (typically 12 months minimum remaining at delivery), submit three verifiable references, and comply with state-specific provisions including E-Verify, debarment certification, and complaint-resolution timelines.
