UNSPSC 50461921: Canned or jarred regalia beets

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

UNSPSC 50461921 Canned or jarred regalia beets is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line that state and local governments buy primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service contracts. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects a broader pattern of institutional food purchasing — the recent opportunities show school districts, state health and human services agencies, and state corrections departments soliciting canned vegetables as line items within much larger food service RFPs and IFBs that encompass dozens or hundreds of products. Canned beets rarely appear as standalone solicitations; instead they surface within comprehensive grocery bids, supplemental food procurements, or weekly food orders where they are one among many canned goods. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Burke County and Liberty County Public Schools in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state-level health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers, State of Illinois Veterans Homes), and state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). These agencies collectively account for the plurality of recent activity — school districts lead by volume, with state institutional agencies (corrections, health services, veterans facilities) comprising a secondary but consistent buyer segment.

Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia school districts appearing in multiple recent solicitations (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice) pursuing regular procurements, and a secondary tier of activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and Illinois (State Veterans Home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering food and consumable products under NIGP Class/Item numbers 385, 390, 380, and 393; the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two; and the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016089 on February 20, 2026, for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste with a bid deadline of March 9, 2026. Canned beets typically appear as line items priced and bid within these larger procurements rather than as discrete product solicitations.
