UNSPSC 50476114: Canned or jarred organic trinidad spinach

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

UNSPSC 50476114 Canned or jarred organic Trinidad spinach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables of all types — not exclusively organic Trinidad spinach — procured for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state correctional agencies. The work involves responding to food service bids that name canned vegetables among dozens of line items in broader consumables procurements; vendors typically compete on unit pricing, product specification compliance, delivery within specified timeframes (commonly five to seven days), and demonstrated past performance. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies requesting competitive bids for institutional food supply contracts running fiscal-year or calendar-year terms, often with renewal options, and emphasizing USDA grade compliance, shelf-life certification, proper labeling, and delivery to multiple facility locations or central distribution points on FOB Destination terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso seeking consumables including canned vegetables alongside prepared foods and supplies; the Lufkin procurement (HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026) requested bids for 22 line items with delivery within seven days, while the El Paso facility bid (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covered food and consumables under NIGP classes with historical annual value of $1.5 million. In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools solicited a comprehensive food bid spanning fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared items for four schools with Buy American Act compliance required (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a large IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Texas TDCJ's cafeteria food products bid (304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) covered approximately 382 line items including canned vegetables across five distribution points statewide on a firm fixed-price basis.
