UNSPSC 50472500: Canned or jarred organic carrots

The type of organic vegetable known as organic carrots that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472500 Canned or jarred organic carrots is a Commodity code that names a specific product line, though recent state and local opportunities under this code actually track to broader food procurement across school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and corrections facilities rather than organic carrots specifically. State and local governments buy packaged vegetable products and canned goods as components of larger food supply contracts—the code appears alongside solicitations for tomatoes, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and consumables bundled into comprehensive quarterly or annual food service awards. Issuing bodies span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Liberty County Board of Education), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). School districts dominate the recent activity, issuing IFB and RFP notices for child nutrition food service contracts that span July 2026 through June 2027 performance periods.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 13, 2026 (historical value $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with bids due June 19, 2026 at the Central Distribution Center in Salem; and Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026. The Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative sought fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with an estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One, response deadline March 4, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issued IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products with bids due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American Act compliance (over 51 percent domestically grown agricultural components). No contract awards or incumbent vendor names are specified in the recent records.
