UNSPSC 50471912: Canned or jarred organic detroit 2 dark red beets

The variety of organic beets known as organic detroit 2 dark red beets that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471912 Canned or jarred organic detroit 2 dark red beets is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned vegetables that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and school nutrition programs. The code sees active procurement, though the recent opportunities block includes broader canned-vegetable and prepared-food solicitations rather than beets specifically; state and local buyers are sourcing this commodity as part of comprehensive food-service contracts that span proteins, dairy, produce, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services, departments of corrections, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Texas leads recent activity, with multiple solicitations from the Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, the Comptroller's office on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, and school districts in Georgia and elsewhere soliciting full cafeteria-food portfolios that include canned vegetables as line items.

Recent representative opportunities demonstrate the purchasing pattern. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026, requesting consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center with bids due October 23, 2026, encompassing 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with estimated annual quantities of 1 to 24 cases per item and delivery within seven days of order. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing/Contracts Division solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, posted June 5, 2026, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent, USDA Grade B minimum, 12-month shelf life, and delivery to the Central Distribution Center in Salem in eight truck loads. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested sealed bids for comprehensive school-nutrition food across multiple categories (IFB #26271, posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) with Buy American Act compliance required and deliveries to four school locations. State and local procurement under this code emphasizes FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, and delivery within 30 days or as specified by individual jurisdictions.
