UNSPSC 50471920: Canned or jarred organic pronto beets

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

UNSPSC 50471920 Canned or jarred organic pronto beets is a Commodity code that describes specialty preserved vegetable products state and local governments purchase primarily as part of broader food service procurement for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, and state-operated dining operations. Recent solicitations show that while canned beets appear occasionally within larger food supply contracts, they are typically bundled with hundreds of other food items rather than solicited as standalone line items. School districts and state agencies buying under this code acquire canned or jarred vegetables as components of cafeteria supply chains, institutional meal service, and support living center food operations, with pricing submitted as fixed or indexed unit costs across annual contract periods running July through June.

State education agencies and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix, particularly large county and municipal school systems in Georgia (Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), Texas (including TDCJ correctional facilities and HHSC state supported living centers), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), alongside state departments of corrections in Oregon and state health and human services commissions in Texas and Illinois. Geographic concentration skews toward the Southeast and South, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million for prior year), the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance and multiple food categories across four school locations), and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026 electronically via NUTRIKIDS, over 900 line items). No recent solicitations identified canned organic beets as a standalone commodity requirement; the code appears to capture this product only when embedded within larger institutional food supply contracts where it competes on price and compliance with nutritional standards and sourcing preferences.
