UNSPSC 50476600: Canned or jarred organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins

The type of organic vegetable known as organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476600 Canned or jarred organic winter squashes and winter pumpkins is a Class code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable vegetable products for institutional food service operations — specifically canned and jarred vegetables supplied to state facilities, school districts, and county programs. Recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are purchasing prepared and packaged vegetable products as part of broader food service supply contracts rather than as standalone specialty items. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county and municipal governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state corrections departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple open solicitations for consumable foods across state supported living centers and hospital campuses. The geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, and Oregon as primary recent markets, with activity driven by institutional dining operations at correctional facilities, state hospitals, supported living centers, and school nutrition programs.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026) spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies with delivery required within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services (quotes due October 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.) with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident bidder preferences applied; and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive school nutrition food bid (sealed bids due June 5, 2026) encompassing nearly 400 line items across multiple food categories for five school locations in Waynesboro, Georgia. Contracts typically run 12 months with renewal or extension options, require F.O.B. Destination delivery with freight prepaid, and demand compliance with USDA Grade B or better standards, FDA labeling, and minimum shelf-life certifications at delivery.
