UNSPSC 50466825: Canned or jarred donqua

The type of vegetable known as donqua that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466825 Canned or jarred donqua, a Commodity code, sees state and local procurement activity focused on canned tomato products and broader food supply contracts that include canned vegetables and specialty items as line items within larger grocery and meal-service solicitations. Recent opportunities show school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and state veterans homes sourcing canned and jarred products as components of weekly food orders, institutional food service supply contracts, and child nutrition program procurement. The issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services commissions and departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home), and county and municipal purchasing offices. School nutrition programs represent the dominant share of recent activity, with districts procuring hundreds of line items across food categories that bundle canned goods with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods under single solicitations. State institutional buyers—corrections facilities, state hospitals, and supported living centers—source canned products as part of large comprehensive food supply contracts. Geographic concentration appears in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school district solicitations) and in states with active institutional food procurement (Oregon, Texas, Illinois). Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (solicitation S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), and the State of Illinois issuing an RFQ for weekly food orders including canned items as part of quarterly procurement for the Illinois Veterans Home (27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026). These opportunities reflect demand for canned tomatoes, canned vegetables, and canned specialty items specified to USDA grades and nutrition standards, typically with firm fixed pricing, FOB Destination delivery, and multi-month or annual contract terms. Pricing frameworks commonly reference historical purchase costs or USDA market indices, and bidders must meet food safety compliance, insurance, and debarment certification requirements.

School districts across Georgia and other states dominate the recent posting activity, with solicitations requiring hundreds of line items and delivery to multiple school sites weekly. Food service supply contracts for institutional buyers—state corrections, health and human services, and veteran care facilities—represent the second major category, with contracts spanning several hundred line items and annual values reaching into the millions. The market shows consistent procurement from late winter through early summer for school-year contracts (July 1 through June 30 renewal cycles common), with response deadlines typically 7–14 days from posting. Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear in several Douglas County School System procurements conducted through the GEC Buying Cooperative, allowing multiple districts to aggregate demand. No specific set-asides or minority/disadvantaged enterprise designations appear in the recent opportunities reviewed, though Oregon applies Oregon-fabricated and resident bidder preferences of five percent each. The code shows steady activity with no dry periods; recent solicitations posted continuously from late January through late June 2026, indicating year-round institutional and educational demand for canned goods as part of routine food service operations.
