UNSPSC 50476835: Canned or jarred organic kudzu

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

UNSPSC 50476835 Canned or jarred organic kudzu, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal product—organic kudzu in preserved form—does not appear in any of the recent solicitations indexed to this code. Instead, the opportunities posted under 50476835 involve broad food-service procurement by state agencies, school districts, and corrections departments, spanning canned tomatoes, supplemental food and consumable products for state-supported living centers, weekly food orders for veterans' homes, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive grocery supply for school nutrition programs. None of these solicitations specifically name kudzu, organic or otherwise, as a line item or required product. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services commissions (Texas), school districts across Georgia and Missouri, state veterans' homes (Illinois), and county school systems, reflecting a wide geographic and institutional mix, but the actual buying focuses on staple food commodities and broad food-service distribution rather than specialty preserved items.

The recent opportunities show heaviest activity in Georgia (Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Texas (HHSC procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers across multiple regions), and Oregon (Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Illinois (Veterans Home quarterly food orders), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative current solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (due July 13, 2026), Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026). This code appears to be a categorical misfiling; vendors specializing in organic kudzu products should verify code applicability before investing in response development.
