UNSPSC 50474000: Canned or jarred organic green peas

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

UNSPSC 50474000 Canned or jarred organic green peas is a Class code covering shelf-stable packaged vegetables that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show that what gets bought under this code is typically part of larger, multi-item food supply contracts rather than standalone vegetable procurements; canned or jarred products appear as line items mixed with proteins, grains, condiments, and paper supplies in comprehensive cafeteria and institutional dining operations. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies (particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Gwinnett County in Georgia), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple using agencies. Texas agencies — especially HHSC and the Comptroller's office on behalf of TDCJ — are repeat buyers under related food-service codes, with multiple active solicitations in the June-October 2026 window.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, driven by large institutional networks requiring recurring bulk food supply. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (responses due July 13, 2026, prior period value $1.5 million), which covers NIGP-classified food and consumable categories serving facility food service and canteen operations; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (responses due June 19, 2026, prior purchase $13.75 per case), requiring USDA Grade B or better with a 5 percent Oregon-fabricated preference; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive school nutrition food products (responses due June 15, 2026), spanning fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable items across four school locations with the Buy American Act in effect. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food IFB (304T26300CF, responses due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) aggregates approximately 382 line items across six TDCJ warehouse distribution points. All contracts require FOB Destination delivery, USDA or FDA compliance documentation, and firm pricing for initial periods with adjustments limited to renewals or indexed to third-party market data.
