UNSPSC 50465405: Canned or jarred blackeyed peas

The variety of peas known as blackeyed peas that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465405 Canned or jarred blackeyed peas is a Commodity code that names a single product line state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, appearing in recent solicitations primarily as part of broader food supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. School districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and state veterans homes are the principal issuing bodies soliciting under this code, typically bundling canned blackeyed peas with dozens or hundreds of other food items in annual or multi-year food service contracts. The actual procurement activity reflects demand for shelf-stable legume products that meet USDA standards and nutritional requirements for meal planning, with vendors expected to deliver products meeting specified sodium limits, shelf life minimums, and compliance with federal food safety standards.

Recent opportunities spanning Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia indicate active procurement across multiple states and institution types. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other qualified ordering entities across Texas, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period and responses due July 13, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S2910000016405 in March 2026 seeking canned tomatoes (a closely related commodity) for approximately 7,616 cases with responses due June 19, 2026 at 9:00 AM PST, demonstrating the pattern of large-volume institutional procurement. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 in May 2026 for comprehensive food products including canned goods with delivery to four school locations and responses due June 15, 2026. Multiple school districts including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued grocery and food supply contracts in the March-May 2026 window that encompass canned goods as part of broader line-item food procurement. The code shows steady demand from institutional food service buyers seeking reliable, specification-compliant canned legume products at competitive pricing within the context of larger annual food supply contracts.
