UNSPSC 50466905: Canned or jarred early onward peas

The variety of sugar peas known as early onward peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50466905 Canned or jarred early onward peas (Commodity) reflects state and local government procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products for institutional food service operations — schools, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and community service centers. Recent solicitations show this code is applied to bulk purchases of canned vegetables within broader food supply contracts that also include proteins, grains, condiments, and food service supplies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners have posted opportunities over the past four months that explicitly name canned vegetables or reference generic canned vegetable line items as part of larger institutional food procurement. Issuing bodies span state agencies managing state supported living centers and correctional systems, county governments, independent school districts, and county departments of community services. The work involves responding to IFB, RFQ, and IWQ notices with firm unit pricing, product specification compliance (USDA Grade B or better in many cases), delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, and submission of multiple product references and quality certifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted three recent IFBs for consumable foods supporting state supported living centers and state hospitals (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026; HHS0016792V2 due March 19, 2026), with the largest contract representing a potential $4.5 million value over three years and requiring responses to a minimum of 95 percent of 210 line items. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) with an eight-truckload requirement and previous award price of $13.75 per case. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) are procuring comprehensive grocery supplies spanning hundreds of line items, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026, with December 7 delivery requirement). All recent opportunities require F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid, submission of vendor references and compliance certifications (E-Verify, debarment, suspension), and HACCP or equivalent food safety documentation where contracts exceed spending thresholds.
