UNSPSC 50461912: Canned or jarred detroit 2 dark red beets

The variety of beets known as detroit 2 dark red beets that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461912 Canned or jarred detroit 2 dark red beets is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product category, yet state and local opportunities tagged under it span institutional food procurement far more broadly—fresh produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services. The recent solicitations reveal that issuing bodies use this code loosely or as a catch-all taxonomy marker for multi-line-item food contracts rather than as a precise product descriptor. School districts, state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, and county purchasing offices all appear in the activity block. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posts repeatedly (Lufkin State Supported Living Center food and consumables solicitations in August and October 2026; El Paso State Supported Living Center in June 2026; supplemental food and consumables statewide in May 2026), suggesting Texas state institutions are the most visible repeat buyer. Gwinnett County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia also conduct substantial food procurements under similar codes.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Oregon and Illinois. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables and noncontract items, response due August 25, 2026), which covers 20 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (food items including shelf-stable proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables for 1,062 cases, response due October 19, 2026); Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (school nutrition program food covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, condiments, and kitchen supplies across four school locations, response due June 15, 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 (approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better, response due June 19, 2026). Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal and extension options; pricing is usually firm fixed with adjustments at renewal tied to verified market indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index. Delivery is FOB Destination with performance required within 7 to 30 days of order receipt. Institutional buyers enforce strict compliance with federal food standards, HACCP plans, minimum liability insurance, and E-Verify requirements; several solicitations name debarment and lobbying certifications as mandatory for awards exceeding $25,000 or $100,000 respectively.
