UNSPSC 50461911: Canned or jarred d'egypte beets

The variety of beets known as d'egypte beets that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461911 Canned or jarred d'egypte beets is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products for institutional food service operations, primarily state health and human services agencies, county departments, school districts, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for canned vegetables as part of broader food supply contracts serving cafeterias, canteens, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions (Texas), state departments of corrections (Oregon), county boards of commissioners (Georgia), school districts (multiple Georgia counties), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of correctional departments. Vendors responding to this code typically supply through multi-item food bids rather than single-commodity procurements; the canned vegetables are one line item among dozens in comprehensive food service contracts. Requirements across solicitations emphasize USDA Grade B or better compliance, FDA labeling standards, sodium content limits in some jurisdictions, minimum shelf life (typically 12 months remaining at delivery), proper code dating, and Country of Origin marking. Delivery terms are consistently FOB Destination with transportation included in quoted unit prices, and delivery windows range from 30 days of purchase order issuance to seven days of order receipt depending on the contracting body.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food supply IFBs for state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso, with HHS0017449 (El Paso) showing historical spend of $1.5 million annually and HHS0016792v2 (statewide hospitals and living centers) carrying a three-year potential value of $4,500,000. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 on June 5, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case based on prior February 2026 pricing. In Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited food items via IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases including canned vegetables for senior services, and Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools each issued food bids encompassing canned vegetables as line items. Texas and Georgia school districts emphasize Buy American Act compliance (over 51 percent domestic agricultural content) and Child Nutrition meal pattern standards. No recent opportunities show this code applied in isolation; all represent line-item procurement within larger institutional food service contracts with response dates ranging from May through October 2026.
