UNSPSC 50466859: Canned or jarred tepeguaje

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

UNSPSC 50466859 Canned or jarred tepeguaje, a Commodity code, sees sporadic recent procurement activity among state and local food-service buyers, primarily school districts and institutional agencies purchasing from general grocery and food-supply solicitations rather than as a standalone item. The recent state and local contract opportunities do not identify tepeguaje as a named line item; the code appears as a tag within broader food procurement scopes that encompass canned vegetables, condiments, and specialty food products supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and veterans' institutions. State and local buying under this code occurs principally through school nutrition procurements (including Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state correctional systems (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). The solicitations are issued as IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates typically 30 to 60 days from posting.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (multiple school districts and the state), Texas (HHSC), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center, posted June 11, 2026, with bids due July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes, posted March 5, 2026, with bids due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools PE61000NONST2027000000006 for a school food bid encompassing produce, meats, dairy, and canned goods, posted May 19, 2026, with bids due June 15, 2026. Tepeguaje, as a specialty canned vegetable, appears incidentally within these broader food-supply procurements and is not typically sourced as a standalone commodity line; pursuitability depends on whether your firm supplies general food-service distribution with canned vegetable portfolios rather than specialty Mexican or regional preserved foods.
