UNSPSC 50472503: Canned or jarred organic berlicum carrots

The variety of organic carrots known as organic berlicum carrots that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50472503 Canned or jarred organic berlicum carrots is a Commodity code that represents preserved vegetable products state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school cafeterias, state hospitals, supported living centers, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show agencies buying shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables as part of broader food-service supply contracts that bundle proteins, grains, dairy, and consumable items in large quantities; the code itself reflects a narrow product line within those aggregated buys, and no recent solicitations specifically isolate organic berlicum carrots as a standalone line item. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state correctional and education departments, county and municipal school districts, and county social-services boards. The dominant category of buyer is state-level institutional food service — Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois state facilities — followed by county and municipal school nutrition programs in Georgia.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with scattered opportunities in Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods (including canned vegetables) for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for comprehensive food-service supplies including canned fruits and vegetables for four school locations, due June 15, 2026.
