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, a Commodity code, describes canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments purchase for food service operations, though the recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct demand for beets specifically and instead reflects broader canned-vegetable procurement spanning school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services operations, and veteran services. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple recent opportunities from districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia; state agencies purchasing for corrections, health and human services, and veteran services facilities comprise the remainder. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (multiple school districts and the state procurement office), Texas (health and human services), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with additional activity in Illinois and scattered counties in other states. The code sees regular solicitation under IFB and RFQ notice types, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly naming canned or jarred organic beets as a line item; instead, beets would fall within broader food-product categories specified as "canned goods," "vegetables," or "grocery items" across multiple procurement events.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the typical scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016089 (due March 9, 2026) for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste with USDA Grade specifications and strict sodium limits, delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem—a representative single-commodity canned-vegetable solicitation typical of corrections food service. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other state facilities statewide, covering NIGP commodity classes including canned goods among 210 line items, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period and an initial term through August 31, 2027 with renewal options. The Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issued two concurrent solicitations (due April 29, 2026) for grocery items and net-off-invoice products totaling over 900 line items across multiple categories including canned fruits and vegetables, serving approximately 6,900 lunch participants and 900 breakfast participants across the 2026-27 school year. School nutrition procurement dominates the recent activity; canned organic beets would be positioned as a commodity line item within these broader food-supply contracts, priced competitively against equivalent products and evaluated on lowest responsive bid or best value depending on the issuing body's procurement method.
