UNSPSC 50476115: Canned or jarred organic water spinach

The type of organic vegetable known as organic water spinach that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476115 Canned or jarred organic water spinach is a Commodity code that frames state and local government purchases of specialty canned produce—yet the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for water spinach specifically. Instead, the code appears in a mixed set of fresh-produce, general-grocery, and food-service procurements that span canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-supply contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. This pattern signals either mislabeling of opportunities in the state and local system or very limited real procurement volume under the narrow water-spinach specification. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Muscogee County School District in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home, State of Georgia), and one county school system cooperative (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative). These jurisdictions use RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs to solicit food products, typically with firm-fixed pricing and quarterly or annual contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas, Missouri) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with scattered Midwest representation (Illinois). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with historical monthly value of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases due June 19, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 covering 45 schools and distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026); and the Rockwood R-VI School District's paired grocery solicitations (both due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items across products. No recent opportunity directly names canned or jarred organic water spinach as a solicited item, suggesting the code assignment may not reflect actual procurement demand in current state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB activity.
