UNSPSC 50475401: Canned or jarred organic purple hull peas

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

UNSPSC 50475401 Canned or jarred organic purple hull peas is a Commodity code that captures shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables, though recent state and local opportunities show the code applied more broadly to general consumable food procurement for institutional cafeterias, food service operations, and nutrition programs rather than specifically to organic purple hull peas alone. The work being solicited comprises food and food service supply contracts for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services, with vendors supplying hundreds of line items across categories including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared items, and associated disposables and kitchen supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHS Commission), state corrections and penal systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-level food procurement divisions (State of Georgia, State of Illinois). Texas Health and Human Services appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple IFBs for consumables and food products across different facilities within the same fiscal year period.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas HHS Commission posted three separate IFBs between May and October 2026 for consumables and food products serving state-supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with bids due August 25, 2026 (HHS0017872), July 13, 2026 (HHS0017449 with prior-period value of $1.5 million), and October 23, 2026 (HHS0018082), respectively. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026 for senior services delivery. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026 (S2910000017145), with the prior purchase in February 2026 at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271) and Burke County Public Schools issued school nutrition food bids due June 15, 2026 and June 5, 2026, respectively, covering multiple line items across fresh, frozen, and canned categories with Buy American requirements. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products due May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse distribution points with firm fixed pricing and FOB Destination delivery terms.
