UNSPSC 50471919: Canned or jarred organic monogram beets

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

UNSPSC 50471919 Canned or jarred organic monogram beets (Commodity) covers shelf-stable canned vegetables supplied to state and local institutional food service operations—chiefly correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county human services departments. The code sees activity primarily through consumable food procurement by state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice) and school districts, with occasional county purchasing (Gwinnett County, Georgia) and special-purpose food-service operations. Recent solicitations span dried goods, frozen proteins, fresh produce, dairy, and food-service supplies alongside canned vegetables; the code itself names a specific product (canned or jarred organic beets), but actual procurement under it reflects broader institutional food-service sourcing where canned vegetables are one commodity among hundreds in a single RFP or IFB. Vendors compete on unit pricing, USDA grade compliance, delivery timeline (typically seven days to thirty days from order), and ability to serve multiple delivery locations across a facility network.

Activity clusters in Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice, Comptroller's office), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, State of Georgia), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes bid S2910000017145 (7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026, prior award $13.75 per case), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (comprehensive school nutrition procurement including canned vegetables, due June 15, 2026). Texas facilities typically specify F.O.B. Destination with freight prepaid, request firm fixed unit pricing, require three vendor references, and enforce E-Verify and suspension/debarment certifications. School districts add Buy American Act compliance and HACCP plan requirements. Most contracts run twelve months (July to June or September to August) with renewal options. No recent opportunities reference organic certification specifically, suggesting limited demand for organic-branded canned vegetables in current state and local procurement.
