UNSPSC 50465402: Canned or jarred pinkeye peas

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

UNSPSC 50465402 Canned or jarred pinkeye peas is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and veterans homes. Recent solicitations show this code embedded within broader food and consumables bids rather than as a standalone line item, reflecting how jurisdictions typically source canned vegetables as part of comprehensive grocery procurements. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and institutional care facilities. Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia school systems have posted relevant opportunities in the past six months, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest concentration of institutional food service procurement.

Representative recent opportunities span multiple states and institution types. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and a contract term running September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, renewable through August 31, 2028. The Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products covering fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods for delivery to four school locations, with the contract running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited canned tomatoes (a related canned-vegetable product, S2910000016405, posted February 20, 2026) specifying USDA Grade B or better with a minimum twelve-month shelf life and sodium limits, with an eight-truckload procurement delivering to Salem. Pricing in these procurements is typically firm fixed-price FOB Destination with transportation included, and awards go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting specification and delivery requirements, with evaluation sometimes weighted toward best value rather than price alone.
