UNSPSC 50465704: Canned or jarred marian rutabagas

The type of vegetable known as marian rutabagas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50465704 Canned or jarred marian rutabagas is a Commodity code. Despite the code's narrow product specification, state and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying broad institutional food service products—canned and jarred vegetables, tomato products, fresh produce, eggs, and related consumables to support school nutrition programs, state facilities, and correctional institutions. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high schools), state health and human services agencies managing state-supported living centers and hospitals, state corrections departments, and regional cooperative purchasing consortia. School nutrition programs appear most frequently, with districts soliciting comprehensive grocery and produce contracts covering hundreds of line items annually to feed thousands of students. State agencies managing residential facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home) similarly procure food and consumables on recurring quarterly, annual, and multi-year cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts including Muscogee County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, and Douglas County cooperatives), Texas (HHSC statewide hospitals and supported living centers), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (Veterans Home). Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with prior pricing at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories due June 15, 2026; and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026, covering weekly delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, include Buy American Act compliance requirements, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders based on firm fixed pricing with limited post-award price adjustment provisions tied to published indices such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data.
