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 that spans canned and jarred vegetable products purchased by state agencies, county governments, school districts, and correctional facilities for food service operations, institutional dining, and nutrition programs. State and local governments use this code to procure shelf-stable canned vegetables—including tomatoes, beets, beans, and mixed vegetables—as cost-effective components of bulk food supply contracts supporting cafeterias, canteens, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county school districts, and county government agencies; Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and school nutrition programs in Georgia appear as repeat buyers in recent activity. Work under the code includes both single-item procurement (such as canned tomatoes alone) and line-item inclusion within comprehensive food service solicitations bundling proteins, dairy, produce, and consumable supplies for institutional feeding operations.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (USDA Grade B or better, minimum 12 months shelf life, sodium not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams) due June 19, 2026 under IFB S2910000017145, with the previous purchase in February 2026 priced at $13.75 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, including HHS0016792V2 (due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 11, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million). Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested food bids covering multiple categories including canned vegetables and fruits (due June 15, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia sought comprehensive grocery procurement with canned items (due June 5, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including canned vegetables and fruits (extended due date May 4, 2026). Canned vegetables typically appear as individual line items within larger food service contracts priced per case, with delivery requirements of 30 to 72 hours and FOB Destination terms including freight prepaid.
