UNSPSC 50462504: Canned or jarred chantenay carrots

The variety of carrots known as chantenay carrots that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50462504 Canned or jarred chantenay carrots is a Commodity code tracking preserved vegetable products that state and local governments purchase as discrete line items within larger food service and school nutrition procurements. The code sees active use across school districts, state health and human services agencies, corrections departments, and institutional food service operations, where canned and jarred vegetables appear as individual specifications within comprehensive grocery and food supply contracts rather than as standalone solicitations. State and local buying bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Ben Hill County Schools, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services commissions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state agencies (Illinois Veterans Home). The mix reflects institutional food service as the primary use case, with school nutrition programs and state facility food operations driving most procurement activity.

Recent opportunities show canned vegetables embedded in broader food supply contracts: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, responding to June 11, 2026 posting, with prior historical spend of $1.5 million covering September 2025–August 2026); the Texas HHSC and Department of State Health Services' supplemental food procurement HHS0016792V2 (maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years, 210 line items including preserved vegetables); the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato bid S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases (due June 19, 2026, posted June 5, 2026, historical price $13.75 per case); and school district grocery procurements covering multiple states including Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools food bid due June 15, 2026; Liberty County Board of Education IFB covering 400-plus food items due April 29, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items and NOI bids due April 29, 2026 covering 200 and 900-plus line items respectively), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026), and Georgia (Muscogee County School District produce bid due April 27, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System fresh produce due April 23, 2026). Activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and upper Midwest (Illinois, Missouri). Canned vegetables do not appear in isolation but rather as one component line item within multi-category food service aggregations, making focused vendor positioning on chantenay carrots alone difficult; most opportunities require responsiveness across dozens to hundreds of grocery items with fixed or cost-plus pricing models.
