UNSPSC 50466812: Canned or jarred beet tops

The type of vegetable known as beet tops that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466812 Canned or jarred beet tops, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope encompasses shelf-stable processed beet greens in canned or jarred form for use in institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect purchasing for beet tops specifically; instead, state and local issuing bodies are buying broad food service supplies that may incidentally include canned vegetable products. School districts, corrections departments, and health and human services agencies issue the majority of food procurement RFPs and ITBs in the recent activity block, with prominent repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school systems. These institutions source food through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct competitive bids covering hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, prepared foods, and consumable supplies.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with additional procurement from Illinois and Missouri school districts. Representative solicitations show the scale and complexity typical of institutional food buying: the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at state supported living centers, due July 13, 2026, with historical spending around $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases, due March 9, 2026); and the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) covering grocery delivery to 45 schools across two distribution centers. None of these opportunities isolate beet tops as a distinct line item or named commodity, suggesting this code carries limited transaction volume or that beet tops are bundled within broader vegetable or canned-goods categories where pricing and vendor selection occur at the family or class level rather than the commodity level.
