UNSPSC 50471915: Canned or jarred organic egyptian turnip rooted beets

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

UNSPSC 50471915 Canned or jarred organic Egyptian turnip rooted beets, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned or jarred vegetable products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food-service supply chains for institutional feeding operations. Recent solicitations show the code's scope extending to institutional food procurement contracts where canned vegetables appear as individual line items within comprehensive consumable-food packages — the source material reflects this positioning through nested purchasing by state departments, county nutrition programs, school districts, and correctional facilities that solicit canned vegetables as elements of much larger meal-service operations rather than as standalone specialty commodities. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state-supported living centers), county boards of commissioners and their departments of community services (Gwinnett County, Georgia), county school districts and independent school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), and state agency food-service operations (State of Illinois, State of Georgia). These entities treat canned vegetables as commodity inputs to meal preparation and nutrition programs serving vulnerable or institutional populations — residents of state facilities, school children, county senior-service clients, and incarcerated individuals.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with Texas and Georgia dominating recent posting volume. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple consumables food RFPs and IFBs for state-supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities), with the El Paso procurement (IFB HHS0017449, posted June 2026, due July 2026) carrying a historical annual value of $1.5 million and covering food and consumable products statewide. Georgia sources include Gwinnett County's informal written quote (IWQ 140229, posted October 2026, due October 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, and two school district food bids (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, June 2026; Burke County Public Schools bid, May 2026). Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution points. Oregon Department of Corrections issued a separate canned-tomato solicitation (S2910000017145, June 2026) requiring approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with Oregon-vendor and resident-bidder preferences applied at 5 percent. The code shows steady institutional procurement activity but appears as a subordinate line item within much broader food-service contracts rather than as a primary or standalone category — individual canned-vegetable awards are unlikely; vendors typically bid as food distributors covering dozens or hundreds of SKUs under unified contracts.
