UNSPSC 50464000: Canned or jarred green peas

The type of vegetable known as green peas that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464000 Canned or jarred green peas is a Class code encompassing preserved vegetable products that state and local governments procure as components of broader food service and nutrition supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent state and local solicitations show this code active primarily within school district nutrition programs, state institutional food service (correctional facilities, health and human services), and state veteran homes, where canned and jarred vegetables appear as individual line items within comprehensive grocery, produce, and food supply IFBs and RFPs. School nutrition programs across multiple states solicit canned vegetables including green peas as part of annual master grocery contracts that also span proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh produce; state correctional departments and health and human services agencies similarly embed canned vegetable line items within larger food and consumable product procurements serving multiple facilities statewide. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems (Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with notable procurement volume in Georgia (multiple school districts), Texas (HHSC facilities and TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Oregon (ODOC), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products posted May 19, 2026 (due June 15, 2026), encompassing fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and canned vegetables with four school delivery points and Buy American Act compliance; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026 (due July 13, 2026), covering NIGP Class numbers including food service products with historical annual value of $1.5 million; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative posted February 4, 2026 (due March 4, 2026), serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Canned green peas rarely appear as the primary solicitation focus; they surface as line items in larger procurements where vendors price hundreds of items across multiple product categories, with evaluation based on lowest responsive bid or best value across the entire contract scope.
