UNSPSC 50476106: Canned or jarred organic lamb's quarters spinach

The variety of organic spinach known as organic lamb's quarters spinach that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476106 Canned or jarred organic lamb's quarters spinach is a Commodity code encompassing specialty shelf-stable produce items that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show that the code reflects a narrow product category—canned and jarred vegetables—that is routinely bundled within much larger consumables and food-service procurements serving correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. The buying bodies are predominantly state departments of health and human services, state correctional agencies, and school districts; a handful of county governments and municipal agencies also issue food-service solicitations that may tag items under this code. Repeat issuers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (soliciting multiple times for state supported living centers and hospitals), the Oregon Department of Corrections, and school districts across Georgia and Texas.

The geographic footprint spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Illinois based on recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school food products including canned vegetables (response due June 15, 2026). The Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (response due May 4, 2026) and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (response due October 19, 2026) represent additional active demand. Canned and jarred vegetables appear as line items within larger food-service contracts rather than as standalone procurements, making this Commodity code most relevant to vendors offering comprehensive institutional food distribution rather than specialty organic produce specialists.
