UNSPSC 50461919: Canned or jarred monogram beets

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

UNSPSC 50461919 Canned or jarred monogram beets is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable vegetable products procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service — particularly state-operated residential facilities, correctional institutions, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy canned beets as part of larger food commodity bundles for cafeterias, canteens, dining facilities, and meal programs serving residents, inmates, students, and seniors. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies operating residential living centers and state hospitals, state departments of corrections, independent school districts, and county social services departments. These agencies typically procure canned beets alongside dozens or hundreds of other food items — canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies — under consolidated IFB or IWQ notices with delivery requirements to central distribution centers or individual facility locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple recent bids for institutional food supplies naming canned vegetables among line items, including HHS0016792v2 (210 food line items statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers, responses due March 19, 2026) and HHS0017449 (food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center, responses due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections issued a separate 7,616-case canned tomato bid in June 2026 with a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bids due June 5, 2026) solicited comprehensive grocery bundles with canned vegetables as line items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (IWQ due October 19, 2026). All recent opportunities require FOB Destination delivery within three to seven days of order, firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA or FDA standards, and submission of company qualifications and references; Texas facilities impose additional constraints on price adjustment formulas, complaint resolution timelines, and acceptance of partial shipments.
