UNSPSC 50464004: Canned or jarred snow peas

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

UNSPSC 50464004 Canned or jarred snow peas is a Commodity code that describes preserved frozen or canned legume products; however, the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically naming snow peas. Instead, state and local governments are buying canned or jarred products under this code's parent family as part of broader food service procurement—school districts, corrections facilities, state health agencies, and veterans homes bundling preserved vegetables alongside proteins, grains, condiments, and other staples into comprehensive food supply contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy). These entities solicit annually or semi-annually under IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types, with response windows typically 30 to 45 days from posting.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and upper Midwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two separate canned-vegetable solicitations (tomato canned in June 2026 and February 2026, seeking approximately 7,616 cases per posting at historical prices around $14.30 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued statewide food and consumable bids covering state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026, with prior period historical value of $1.5 million; HHS0016792 with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years), and Georgia school districts posted multiple annual produce and grocery solicitations (Liberty County Board of Education IFB due April 29, 2026, covering over 400 food items; Muscogee County School District ITB 26-017 for fresh produce due April 27, 2026; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System Bid 26-34 for fresh produce due April 23, 2026). Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District posted parallel grocery-item and net-off-invoice procurements in March 2026 (bids due April 29, 2026, for approximately 900 grocery line items and 200 NOI line items). Preserved vegetables typically anchor these larger food-service contracts as commodity-level line items rather than standalone procurements, purchased as part of competitive low-bid awards on a per-case basis at firm fixed prices, with firm pricing required for 12 months and limited midterm adjustments tied to USDA commodity indices or published manufacturer price lists.
