UNSPSC 50465300: Canned or jarred peanuts

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

UNSPSC 50465300 Canned or jarred peanuts is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of packaged nut products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal direct activity under this specific code. The issuing bodies soliciting food products under broadly related UNSPSC classifications span school districts, state correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and state veterans' homes across multiple states. School districts and state agencies dominate the recent activity, with repeat buyers including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts. The work solicited ranges from complete quarterly or annual grocery procurement (covering hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, and supplies) to narrowly defined category purchases (canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and supplemental food products for state facilities). Recent opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance, USDA grade adherence, strict shelf-life and sodium specifications, and weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple sites.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with Georgia school districts and the Oregon Department of Corrections showing the most recent solicitation density. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes—approximately 7,616 cases at FOB Destination pricing due June 19, 2026—and Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, seasonings, bread, and related supplies across four school locations with Buy American Act compliance required. School district food solicitations typically run July through June contract years, use IFB notice type, demand firm fixed pricing with quarterly or semiannual escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices, require 98 percent or higher service-level performance on scheduled delivery days, and restrict participation to vendors with three to five years of demonstrated experience. The code shows activity but appears underrepresented in the recent-opportunities block relative to actual state and local food-procurement volume; the block contains no solicitations explicitly tagged to 50465300, suggesting either tagging misalignment or minimal direct institutional demand for canned peanuts as a standalone commodity versus component items within broader food categories.
