UNSPSC 50476800: Canned or jarred organic nominant vegetables

Vegetable types that belong to no other class and have no other vegetable commodities related to them that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476800 Canned or jarred organic nominant vegetables is a Class code that encompasses shelf-stable, packaged vegetable products purchased by state agencies, counties, school districts, and special-purpose institutions for food service operations. State and local governments procure canned tomatoes, canned mixed vegetables, canned beans, and similar preserved vegetable items primarily to supply institutional cafeterias, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments, state correctional agencies, school districts, and county social services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections appear as repeat buyers in recent activity. Work under this code consists of large-volume purchases of standardized canned or jarred vegetables meeting USDA Grade B or better, FDA compliance, and specific sodium and shelf-life requirements, with delivery to centralized distribution centers or individual facility locations on FOB Destination terms within 7 to 30 days of order receipt.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 on June 5, 2026, requesting approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with a prior purchase at $13.75 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including canned vegetables under IFB HHS0016792V2 with a response deadline of March 19, 2026, and maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years; and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia requested sealed bids for school nutrition products including canned fruits and vegetables under IFB #26271, with bids due June 15, 2026. Additional recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, response due May 4, 2026) and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026).
