UNSPSC 50471901: Canned or jarred organic action beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic action beets that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471901 Canned or jarred organic action beets is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred vegetables, primarily through school nutrition programs, institutional food services, and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations show that this code maps to broader vegetable and produce procurement — in practice, state and local issuing bodies are buying canned tomatoes, tomato paste, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed grocery items for school cafeterias, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and correctional facilities, with canned beets appearing only as part of larger mixed-produce or vegetable line-item catalogs rather than as standalone solicitations.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State agencies — including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and State of Illinois Veterans Home — also solicit regularly under related codes. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school districts in the Southeast (Georgia) showing particularly high recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026) with historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 for tomato paste (1,904 cases, March 9, 2026 close); and the Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens (April 27, 2026 close). These procurements are typically structured as annual or multi-year term contracts with firm fixed pricing, quarterly or monthly price adjustments tied to USDA or CPI indices, delivery requirements of multiple times weekly, and Buy American compliance mandates for school nutrition programs.
