UNSPSC 50466910: Canned or jarred reuzensuiker peas

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

UNSPSC 50466910 Canned or jarred reuzensuiker peas is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities under this code show state agencies, county governments, and school districts buying canned vegetables—including the specific category of canned peas—as part of larger food procurement bundles for state supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services centers, and school nutrition programs. The work spans competitive sealed bidding for annual food supply contracts, typically structured as Invitations for Bid with firm, fixed unit pricing and delivery to institutional distribution centers or individual facility locations. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, county boards of commissioners, state departments of corrections, county school districts, and state comptroller procurement divisions acting on behalf of state agencies. Vendors respond to line-item specifications requiring USDA grade compliance, shelf-life documentation, proper labeling, and compliance with federal food safety standards; many solicitations require minimum references, insurance certification, E-Verify compliance, and debarment verification.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide—including HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026) and HHS0017872 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due August 25, 2026)—both encompassing canned vegetables as line items within 20-item consumable bundles. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), establishing the scale and procurement structure typical of state-level institutional food sourcing. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) are soliciting comprehensive food bids for school nutrition programs across multiple school sites, with canned vegetables specified within broader produce and protein line items. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables for senior services (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Contract values range from under $100,000 for individual school districts to $1.5 million annually for state supported living center food service and up to $4.5 million over three years for statewide supplemental food programs.
