UNSPSC 50474003: Canned or jarred organic garden peas

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

UNSPSC 50474003 Canned or jarred organic garden peas is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and jarred vegetables—including peas, tomatoes, and other shelf-stable produce—primarily for institutional food service operations at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent solicitations show demand for both brand-specific items and approved equivalents, with quantities ranging from dozens to thousands of cases annually. The work involves responding to detailed specifications that often mandate USDA grades, shelf-life minimums, sodium content limits, nutritional labeling, and country-of-origin compliance. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts. State-supported living centers and prison systems appear as repeat buyers, with multiple fiscal-year food-service contracts issued annually by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple consumables procurements for Lufkin and El Paso state-supported living centers (IFBs HHS0018082, HHS0017872, and HHS0017449 in June through October 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a June 19, 2026 deadline, referencing a prior February 2026 purchase at $13.75 per case. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools—each issued comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 covering hundreds of line items including canned vegetables for July 2026 through June 2027 school years. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (including canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026.
