UNSPSC 50465306: Canned or jarred virginia peanuts

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

UNSPSC 50465306 Canned or jarred Virginia peanuts (Commodity) captures a narrow product category that state and local governments purchase primarily as part of broader food service procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service at correctional facilities and health and human services agencies, and periodic food supply contracts. The code shows minimal recent dedicated activity—no state or local issuing body has solicited this specific commodity in isolation—but appears as a line item within larger food and consumable product procurements spanning multiple food categories. State and local food service operations purchase canned and jarred peanuts as snack items, ingredients for meal preparation, or pantry staples, typically as one of dozens or hundreds of line items in comprehensive grocery solicitations rather than as standalone requisitions. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state departments managing correctional facilities, supported living centers, and veterans homes; county school systems, municipal school districts, and independent school districts across multiple states all conduct routine annual or quarterly food procurements that implicitly include shelf-stable protein sources such as canned peanuts.

Geographic concentration follows school district density and state institutional food service networks. Recent opportunities show highest activity in Georgia (school districts including Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System have all issued comprehensive food procurements), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Secondary activity appears in Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 food bid (IFB, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods across four school locations; Rockwood R-VI School District's Grocery Items 2026-2027 procurement (electronic bid, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items with canned vegetables, fruits, and proteins; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) serving state supported living centers statewide with 210 line items including canned goods and specialty items. All recent procurements require firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance where applicable, USDA grade conformance, and delivery to multiple school or institutional locations.
