UNSPSC 50476840: Canned or jarred organic lotus root

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

UNSPSC 50476840 Canned or jarred organic lotus root is a Commodity code that sees no recent state or local procurement activity matching its specific product scope. The seventeen opportunities posted between January and June 2026 that carry this code tag involve general school nutrition food service contracts, state institutional food supply for hospitals and correctional facilities, and broad grocery procurement — none of which reference organic lotus root or specialty Asian prepared vegetables. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited diverge sharply; the tagged opportunities instead reflect weekly produce, canned commodity vegetables (tomatoes, generic canned goods), frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and fresh fruit and vegetable distribution under RFQ, RFP, and IFB vehicles.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across these opportunities — Rockwood R-VI (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) — alongside state corrections and health agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Veterans Home. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes, approximately 7,616 cases (due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 spanning 76 minimum items across all school types (due April 27, 2026). The code shows material activity in institutional and school food service but presents no actionable signal for vendors supplying organic lotus root or similar specialty prepared-vegetable products.
