UNSPSC 50475406: Canned or jarred organic zipper cream peas

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

UNSPSC 50475406, Canned or jarred organic zipper cream peas, is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products procured by state and local institutions—primarily state health and human services agencies, county and city food service operations, school districts, and corrections departments. State and local buyers use this code to source packaged vegetables for institutional cafeteria operations, food banks, senior services programs, and on-campus dining facilities. The solicitations under this code reflect procurement of multi-item food bundles where canned or jarred peas appear as one line item among dozens of other shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables; individual line-item awards are common, and vendors often respond to 95 percent or more of all line items in a given IFB. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state hospitals and state supported living centers), county boards of education and school nutrition programs (Georgia and Texas), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (senior services), Oregon Department of Corrections, and Ben Hill County Schools. Institutional buyers typically require USDA Grade B or better compliance, FDA/USDA standards conformance, minimum 12-month shelf life at delivery, proper code dating and country-of-origin labeling, and sodium content limits where specified.
