UNSPSC 50462506 Canned or jarred Paris market carrots is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned vegetables—primarily canned tomatoes, canned carrots, and shelf-stable vegetable products in bulk—for institutional food service operations serving state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and county senior services. The work spans purchasing of prepared and specialty canned vegetables, often with USDA grade specifications and sodium or nutritional restrictions, for delivery to centralized distribution centers or individual facility cafeterias. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas, Georgia, Illinois), state corrections departments (Oregon, Texas), school districts and county school nutrition programs (Georgia), and county social services departments. Solicitations typically follow IFB or informal quote processes with firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases and delivery within days to weeks of order placement.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for canned and shelf-stable vegetables to supply state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, including HHS0018082 (consumables for Lufkin facility, due Oct. 23, 2026), HHS0017872 (fiscal year 2027 food items for Lufkin, due Aug. 25, 2026), and HHS0017449 (El Paso facility and statewide DSHS use, prior period value $1.5 million). The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ODOC to Salem, Oregon, bids due Jun. 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (due Oct. 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services and Senior Services Center in Georgia.
