UNSPSC 50476111: Canned or jarred organic savoy spinach

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

UNSPSC 50476111 Canned or jarred organic savoy spinach is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchasing of shelf-stable vegetable products in canned and jarred form. State and local governments—primarily school districts, corrections departments, and state health agencies—procure canned and jarred vegetables as components of broader food-service operations supporting institutional meal programs, with specifications typically emphasizing USDA grade compliance, shelf life, sodium content limits, and nutritional standards aligned with Child Nutrition or state institutional feeding requirements. Recent solicitations show these jurisdictions source canned vegetables as line items within larger food-supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements; the code sees activity primarily among school nutrition programs managing annual food bids, state correctional systems, and state health and human services agencies operating institutional dining facilities.

School districts dominate the recent activity under this code tier, with solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posting comprehensive food-supply RFPs and IFBs between January and June 2026. State departments of corrections in Oregon and Texas also appear as repeat buyers, with the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing separate ITBs for canned tomatoes (solicitation S2910000016405, due April 6, 2026, and S2910000015837, due February 9, 2026); state health agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, and HHS0016792, due February 23, 2026) and Illinois Veterans Homes (26497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) round out the issuing bodies. Activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia, with eight school districts posting between January and June 2026—and in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Muscogee County School District's ITB 26-017 for produce and fresh items (due April 27, 2026), the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, with prior purchase at $13.75 per case). Canned vegetables typically appear as line items in larger category-based food procurements rather than standalone bids, with pricing submitted per unit on firm fixed-price bases and delivery requirements emphasizing weekly or scheduled shipments to multiple school sites or state facilities.
