UNSPSC 50464001: Canned or jarred china peas

The variety of green peas known as china peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50464001 Canned or jarred china peas (Commodity) addresses a narrow product line within institutional food procurement, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader set of canned vegetable and prepared-food sourcing rather than china peas specifically. State and local governments buy canned and jarred vegetables—tomatoes, peas, and mixed produce—primarily through school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri; Muscogee County, Douglas County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, Savannah-Chatham, and Liberty County in Georgia; and others), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). A handful of state departments and county education systems appear multiple times, particularly Georgia school districts and Texas HHSC, indicating sustained demand from these buyer segments.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with Georgia showing the heaviest recent volume across school nutrition RFPs and IFBs. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato ITB (S2910000016089, due Feb 9, 2026, approximately 7,616 cases) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million annually). Multiple school districts issued concurrent RFPs and IFBs in late March and April 2026—Burke County Public Schools (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education (PE68910NONST2026000000049, due April 29, 2026), and others—all specifying Buy American compliance, HACCP protocols, and fixed pricing with allowable adjustments tied to third-party indices. Commodity coding in this space is loose; many posted opportunities tag broadly to food procurement families rather than specific items, so vendors should cross-reference recent solicitations against actual line-item specifications rather than relying on the code name alone.
