UNSPSC 50476500: Canned or jarred organic turnip greens

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

UNSPSC 50476500 Canned or jarred organic turnip greens is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables for institutional food service, though recent activity under this specific code shows limited direct solicitation activity. The work being procured includes canned vegetables as line items within larger consumable-food contracts that supply state-run facilities including supported living centers, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. State and local issuing bodies soliciting food under related codes include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state nutrition agencies. These are predominantly state-level health and human services departments paired with school districts, alongside county government procurement offices managing food service for social services programs.

Recent procurement activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple bids for consumable foods at state supported living centers—notably IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin, due October 23, 2026) and IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso, due July 11, 2026)—spanning dozens of food and consumable line items with estimated annual quantities measured in cases and delivery required within 7 days of order. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (bid due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bid due June 8, 2026) have solicited comprehensive food procurement across nearly 400 line items each for nutrition programs across multiple schools. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest in February 2026. These solicitations typically use IFB or IWQ notice types, require F.O.B. Destination delivery, and impose compliance with FDA/USDA standards, HACCP plans where applicable, and Buy American Act requirements for school nutrition programs.
