UNSPSC 50466853: Canned or jarred soybeans

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

UNSPSC 50466853 Canned or jarred soybeans (Commodity) covers preserved legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, though the recent opportunities block shows no directly matching solicitations — instead, state and local buyers are soliciting canned tomatoes, fresh produce, and broad-spectrum food supply contracts that include but do not isolate canned soybeans as a line item. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with additional activity from state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans' facilities. Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs appearing across multiple states as repeat buyers executing annual or multi-year food procurement cycles.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the broader procurement context. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016089 on February 20, 2026 (due March 9, 2026) for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste meeting USDA Grade A or better, delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned goods to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 on May 19, 2026 (due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food products across multiple categories with Buy American requirements and delivery to four school locations. The Douglas County School System in Georgia posted RFP SN 26-004 on February 4, 2026 (due March 4, 2026) seeking fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 school districts across two areas, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Canned soybeans, when procured by these entities, typically appear as one line item among hundreds in larger food supply contracts rather than as standalone solicitations, signaling that vendors pursuing this commodity code should expect to bid on multi-category food packages alongside broader produce, protein, and shelf-stable inventories.
