UNSPSC 50476827: Canned or jarred organic gai choy

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

UNSPSC 50476827 Canned or jarred organic gai choy is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable Asian leafy green vegetables in canned or jarred form, typically as one line item within larger food service and cafeteria supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty purchases. The code sees activity primarily from state human services agencies, county nutrition programs, and school districts sourcing consumable food products for institutional food service operations—kitchens at state supported living centers, county senior services facilities, and school nutrition programs across multiple states. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (which has posted multiple food service IFBs since May 2026), county boards of commissioners (such as Gwinnett County, Georgia), state corrections departments, and independent school districts. The scope of work under this code reflects institutional bulk purchasing: vendors respond to RFQs and IFBs requesting hundreds of line items across diverse food categories, with canned or jarred gai choy typically specified alongside canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, condiments, and food service supplies. Bidders must meet USDA standards, provide firm fixed pricing on F.O.B. Destination terms with freight prepaid, maintain liability insurance, comply with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and commit to delivery within seven days of order or as specified.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued at least three relevant food service IFBs since May 2026 (HHS0016792V2 with a $4.5 million potential value over three years, HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center with prior-period spend of $1.5 million, and HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia solicited food products under IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted a separate canned-tomato procurement (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences at 5 percent. Burke County Public Schools in Waynesboro, Georgia sought nearly 400 line items for school nutrition (due June 5, 2026, opened June 8, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a large cafeteria food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items across multiple warehouse locations. No specific recent opportunity names canned or jarred organic gai choy by name; the code appears nested within broad institutional food service RFQs and IFBs rather than as a discrete procurement target.
