UNSPSC 50465305: Canned or jarred valencia peanuts

The variety of peanuts known as valencia peanuts that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465305 Canned or jarred valencia peanuts is a Commodity code under which state and local governments buy shelf-stable packaged snacks and bulk food staples for institutional food service — primarily state health and human services facilities, school districts, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses not only canned or jarred peanuts per se, but broader categories of canned and packaged food products including proteins, vegetables, condiments, and consumer packaged goods sourced through competitive food service procurement. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and special-purpose districts. Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers across multiple solicitations for state supported living centers and state hospitals. Scope includes high-volume institutional purchases ranging from roughly 1,000 cases (Gwinnett County) to over 7,600 cases (Oregon canned-tomato procurement) and contract values in the millions, such as the Texas HHSC supplemental food bid with a potential $4.5 million value over three years. Vendors typically respond to IFBs and RFQs with firm fixed pricing on per-unit bases, F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid and included, and delivery within 7 to 30 days of order.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections bid S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026 with a prior award from California Healthy Harvest at $13.75 per case), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products across four schools (bids due June 15, 2026). School districts and institutional food-service buyers evaluate primarily on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, though some jurisdictions apply best-value criteria that weigh vendor performance history and delivery capability. Geographic preferences and Buy American Act compliance are enforced where applicable, particularly in school nutrition and correctional procurements.
