UNSPSC 50466828: Canned or jarred gailon

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

UNSPSC 50466828 Canned or jarred gallon is a Commodity code capturing canned and jarred food products in gallon-size or bulk packaging that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities show demand for canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and other preserved vegetables as components of larger food-service contracts rather than standalone line items. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri) alongside state departments and agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Illinois Veterans Home. The code sees activity across multiple states—Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia—with school districts representing the largest and most frequent buyers in the recent posting window.

Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) specifying USDA Grade B or better, sliced, diced, stewed, halves, or whole forms, with eight truckloads required for delivery to Salem; the same agency's separate ITB for 1,904 cases of tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026) requiring USDA Grade A through Standard with sodium limits and twelve-month shelf life; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) seeking food and consumable products for state-supported living centers across Texas with prior-period spending of $1.5 million and a historical maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School district grocery and food-supply contracts consistently include canned vegetables as line items within broader procurement folders—Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (IFB, due June 15, 2026), Burke County Public Schools' nutrition procurement (due June 5, 2026), and Liberty County Board of Education's food products solicitation (IFB, due April 29, 2026) all specify canned goods alongside fresh produce and proteins. Buy American requirements, USDA compliance, sodium limits, and minimum shelf-life standards (typically twelve months) appear uniformly across opportunities; pricing is typically firm and fixed for initial contract periods with escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices or Consumer Price Index formulas.
