UNSPSC 50461909: Canned or jarred chioggia beets

The variety of beets known as chioggia beets that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461909 Canned or jarred chioggia beets is a Commodity code with little recent state and local procurement activity specifically tied to this narrow product line. The recent opportunities block contains ten state and local solicitations, but only one—the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes bid (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026)—names a specific canned vegetable product with precise specifications and volume. The remaining nine opportunities reference broader food categories (consumables, food service items, kitchen supplies, school nutrition programs, cafeteria products) in which canned or jarred beets might be one line item among hundreds, but none explicitly identify chioggia beets by name or isolate demand for this commodity. State and local governments do procure canned vegetables as part of routine institutional food service—state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and health and human services agencies all buy shelf-stable produce—but the code shows no signal of dedicated, repeated sourcing for this specific varietal or product form in the recent market.

The geographic footprint of recent food-service procurement spans Texas (Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice facilities), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (state IVHQ facility), with Texas and Georgia showing the highest volume of recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026) and the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026). The Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools nutrition procurement (due June 5, 2026) illustrate school district engagement in multi-category food sourcing with hundreds of line items per contract. None of these opportunities isolates demand for canned or jarred chioggia beets as a standalone procurement line.
