UNSPSC 50474002: Canned or jarred organic english peas

The variety of organic green peas known as organic english peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50474002 Canned or jarred organic english peas (Commodity) encompasses shelf-stable canned vegetable products that state and local governments procure as components of institutional food service — specifically, line-item food supplies for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services operations. The code appears in mixed-volume food procurement solicitations alongside dozens of other canned and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy items, and food service consumables; canned peas themselves represent a single commodity within broader institutional foodservice contracts rather than a standalone category. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission, Georgia), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia). State-level health and social services agencies and school nutrition programs are the most active repeat buyers, with procurement volumes suggesting annual usage in the low hundreds of cases per facility or district.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (IFB HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026, with 210 line items and a three-year potential value of $4,500,000; IFB HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million; and IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent. School district food bids in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools, due June 5, 2026) and Illinois (State of Illinois, due June 26, 2026) encompass multiple canned vegetable categories with brand-specific or approved-equivalent sourcing and Buy American requirements where applicable.
