UNSPSC 50476821: Canned or jarred organic dandelions

The type of organic vegetable known as organic dandelions that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476821 Canned or jarred organic dandelions, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments buy canned and jarred food products—primarily vegetables, fruits, proteins, and prepared foods—under broader food procurement codes far more frequently than they solicit organic dandelions specifically. Recent opportunities demonstrate that school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and other state institutions purchase canned vegetables (tomatoes, tomato paste) and other shelf-stable foods in volume to support institutional cafeterias, nursing facilities, and food service operations, but the dandelion-specific code does not appear in those solicitations. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement span state departments (Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 2026, due June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide ($4.5 million potential value over three years, due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract for 45 schools (due April 27, 2026). The code shows no recent opportunities for organic dandelions specifically; solicitations under related canned-vegetable codes reflect demand for commodity items purchased in bulk at firm fixed pricing with quarterly or annual contract terms, but dandelions do not appear in any of the representative recent bids reviewed.
