UNSPSC 50475400: Canned or jarred organic peas

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

UNSPSC 50475400 Canned or jarred organic peas, a Class code, represents the procurement of branded or unbranded shelf-stable canned and jarred legume products that state and local governments buy primarily to support institutional food service operations — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, health and human services residential centers, and veterans' homes. The code sees activity across issuing bodies including school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state agency facilities; school systems are the dominant recurring buyer in the recent record, with multiple districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia soliciting canned vegetables as part of broader grocery and produce procurement cycles. Most recent opportunities tag the code alongside dozens of other canned-goods line items within larger food-service RFPs and IFBs that do not isolate canned peas as a standalone procurement focus, meaning individual opportunities rarely if ever spec organic peas in isolation. The source includes representative solicitations covering canned tomatoes, canned goods, and comprehensive food-supply contracts — such as Oregon Department of Corrections' June 2026 RFQ for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (IFB S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million (responses due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens — all of which include canned vegetables among dozens of line items but do not separate peas as a distinct procurement decision point.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with notably active procurement from Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Douglas County Schools), Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI), Texas state agencies (HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon Department of Corrections. Illinois, Virginia, and Florida also show recent activity. The code sees steady demand tied to annual school-year budget cycles (July-June contract periods predominate), with pricing typically firm and fixed for initial contract terms and subject to modest escalation thereafter based on USDA or Consumer Price Index adjustments; Buy American and domestic-preference requirements appear consistently across school and state-operated facility procurements. No recent opportunities in the block isolate organic peas as a branded or performance-critical requirement, suggesting the code's practical activity focuses on bulk canned vegetables as commodity-grade inputs rather than specialized organic-certified procurement paths.
