UNSPSC 50466502: Canned or jarred golden ball turnips

The variety of turnips known as golden ball turnips that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466502 Canned or jarred golden ball turnips, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly tied to this specific product line. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations naming golden ball turnips or equivalent preserved turnip products as discrete line items; instead, the fifteen opportunities posted between January and June 2026 reflect broad food procurement across canned vegetables, fresh produce, and general grocery categories for institutional food service. State and local governments buy canned and preserved vegetables through this code primarily as components of larger food-supply contracts for schools, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and state institutions, typically bundled within dozens or hundreds of line items rather than solicited as standalone commodities.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state procurement), and county-level nutrition programs. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri, with additional volume from Illinois and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC solicitation HHS0017449 (IFB for food and consumables for state-supported living centers, due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, previous purchase $13.75 per case); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026, covering multiple categories including canned vegetables under Buy American Act compliance). These contracts typically run twelve to twenty-four months with renewal options, require FOB Destination pricing inclusive of transportation, mandate USDA Grade B or equivalent compliance, and restrict sodium content to 240 mg or less per specified serving. Turnip-specific procurement under this code remains sparse in the recent record; pursuit should focus on regional institutional food-service vehicles and cooperative purchasing arrangements that bundle preserved vegetables across multiple line items.
