UNSPSC 50476818: Canned or jarred organic chickpeas

The type of organic vegetable known as organic chickpeas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476818 Canned or jarred organic chickpeas is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely procure in isolation; recent solicitations tagged with this code actually reflect broad food-service purchasing for institutional feeding operations, with canned and jarred products appearing as line items within much larger mixed-commodity food buys rather than as standalone procurements. School districts, state departments, and state-supported facilities are the primary issuing bodies, but the opportunities in the source do not show active procurement focused specifically on organic chickpeas—instead, they reveal institutional food service buyers using general procurement notices that encompass canned goods, dry goods, proteins, vegetables, and prepared foods across dozens or hundreds of line items per solicitation.

Geographic spread covers Texas (Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia (multiple school districts and state operations), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), and Missouri (school district), with the heaviest recent activity in Georgia and Texas school nutrition programs. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products supplying state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide under fixed unit rates; the Ben Hill County Schools Food Bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) encompassing fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and canned goods across four school sites; the Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; and the Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) for approximately 32,000 daily meals across 32 schools with estimated annual spend near $9 million. Procurement activity remains steady across the school-year calendar, with bids typically opening in spring for July contract commencement, but no current solicitations specifically target organic chickpeas as a primary commodity.
