UNSPSC 50461913: Canned or jarred detroit 2 little ball beets

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

UNSPSC 50461913 Canned or jarred Detroit 2 little ball beets, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve comprehensive food procurement for state institutions, school districts, and county agencies—encompassing hundreds of line items spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, condiments, and food service supplies—rather than a narrowly defined single product. State and local governments are buying these solicitations primarily through food service contracts for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services, with issuing bodies including state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and county social services agencies. The mix reflects institutional food procurement at scale, where canned vegetables (including beets) appear as one among dozens of required line items rather than as standalone purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers, with response dates in August, May, and June 2026 and a prior contract value of $1.5 million annually. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB in June 2026 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, with delivery to Salem and a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IWQ in October 2026 requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables and proteins, due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia each posted comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 covering nearly 400 line items for school nutrition programs. The code shows little purchasing activity specific to canned beets alone; activity instead reflects institutional bulk food procurement where beet products, if sourced, would be one specification among many in a broader consumables contract.
