UNSPSC 50476108: Canned or jarred organic medania spinach

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

UNSPSC 50476108 Canned or jarred organic medania spinach is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable packaged vegetables for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on canteens, cafeterias, and food service operations at state facilities, schools, and county nutrition programs. The scope of work in recent solicitations spans canned and jarred vegetables as components of larger food-service consumables packages—alongside proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and service supplies—rather than as standalone produce contracts. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois), county nutrition and social services programs (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools), school districts (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state-supported living centers. Most recent activity involves Texas agencies, Georgia school districts, Georgia and Oregon state procurement offices, and Illinois state nutrition programs.

Representative recent opportunities show the code's practical application within larger food procurements.
