UNSPSC 50466844: Canned or jarred moap

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

UNSPSC 50466844 Canned or jarred moap (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement, covering shelf-stable canned and jarred food products purchased by school districts, state institutions, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and related preserved vegetables as components of larger food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. The work involves supplying institutional food service operations with bulk canned goods meeting USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, sodium limits, shelf-life requirements, and delivery specifications to central distribution centers or school nutrition departments.

Solicitations under this code originate from school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Veterans Home). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two recent canned tomato procurements—one in January 2026 (ITB S2910000015837 for 7,616 cases, due February 9, 2026) and another in June 2026 (ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026)—each representing eight full truckloads with delivery to Salem's Central Distribution Center and firm pricing on FOB Destination basis. Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Missouri) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with school nutrition programs driving recurring seasonal demand. Canned items appear as line-item components within larger food supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements, with pricing typically firm fixed for annual or multi-year terms and subject to USDA Grade B or better standards, 12-month minimum shelf life, and sodium content limits not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams or per tablespoon depending on product form.
