UNSPSC 50471908: Canned or jarred organic cheltenham mono beets

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

UNSPSC 50471908 Canned or jarred organic cheltenham mono beets is a Commodity code that describes state and local procurement of specialty canned or preserved vegetable products, though recent solicitations show minimal direct activity under this specific code. State and local governments purchasing under this code typically seek shelf-stable food items for institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and veterans' homes. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix of jurisdictions including state correctional and health agencies, county and municipal school districts, and state facilities—from large districts like Fairfax County Public Schools and Rockwood School District to smaller operations like Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia. When institutions do source canned or jarred vegetable products, they are part of broader grocery or produce procurement solicitations that emphasize USDA grade compliance, food safety standards, Buy American provisions where applicable, and delivery schedules aligned with meal service cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply state-supported living centers and state hospitals statewide, with an estimated prior-period contract value of $1.5 million; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items bid (due April 29, 2026) covering over 900 line items including canned goods across multiple categories for the 2026-27 school year; and the Oregon Department of Corrections' solicitations for canned tomato products (ITB S2910000016405, February 2026) and canned vegetables under similar specifications. These procurements typically feature firm fixed pricing, delivery within 30 days or weekly schedules, compliance with federal standards including FDA and USDA requirements, and contracts running twelve months to multi-year terms with renewal options. Most institutional buyers evaluate bids on lowest responsive price, vendor performance history, and specification conformance rather than on any single-source or exclusive-supplier basis, allowing multiple vendors to serve different product lines.
