UNSPSC 50461918: Canned or jarred monaco beets

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

UNSPSC 50461918 Canned or jarred monaco beets is a Commodity code representing shelf-stable canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broad food service operations for institutional feeding programs. Recent opportunities show that this code tags general food supply solicitations issued by state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, school districts, and county governments for cafeteria, canteen, and nutrition program operations, though the specific item — canned monaco beets — appears rarely or not at all in the recent posted opportunities. The actual buying encompasses dozens of food product line items per solicitation, with canned vegetables (tomatoes, beans, corn, peppers) and other shelf-stable proteins, starches, and condiments ordered in cases for statewide institutional use. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas), departments of corrections (Oregon), school district nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia).

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026, 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, and vegetables (quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products across multiple categories for four schools (bids due June 15, 2026). These solicitations typically require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, three verifiable references, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, HACCP plans, debarment certifications, and delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order receipt. Contract values range from approximately $1.5 million for single-facility state-supported living centers to $4.5 million over three years for statewide multi-facility programs.
