UNSPSC 50476828: Canned or jarred organic gailon

The type of organic vegetable known as organic gailon that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476828 Canned or jarred organic gallon is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned and jarred food products for institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes. The code captures both single-item line-item buys (canned tomatoes, tomato paste) and mixed food baskets submitted as part of broader food service RFPs and IFBs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating canned goods as components of larger food supply contracts rather than standalone procurements; the code appears alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and supplies in multi-hundred-line-item grocery bids. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health and human services, county school districts, and independent school districts. School nutrition programs dominate the buyer base—districts from Fairfax County, Virginia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Liberty County, Georgia; Muscogee County, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Rockwood R-VI, Missouri; Burke County, Georgia; and Douglas County, Georgia have all posted food service solicitations within the past six months that include canned goods as specified line items. State correctional facilities and state-supported living centers in Texas and Oregon represent a secondary but active segment. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections each posted multiple food procurements between February and June 2026 that explicitly call for canned vegetables, canned fruits, and related shelf-stable items.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest. Georgia school districts account for the highest recent volume—Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Burke County, Ben Hill County, and Douglas County all issued formal bids in the first half of 2026. Texas state health and human services facilities posted two separate supplemental food solicitations (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) with closing dates in February and July 2026, each covering multiple state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Oregon Department of Corrections issued canned-tomato-specific procurements in February and June 2026 (S2910000015837, S2910000016405, S2910000016089). Illinois Veterans Homes posted quarterly food orders in February and June 2026 covering multiple product categories. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, covering NIGP food classes and requiring firm fixed unit rates; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes, due June 19, 2026, with a 5% Oregon-preference and a prior purchase reference of $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest; and multiple Georgia school district IFBs such as Liberty County Board of Education's food procurement due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 400 food items with Buy American requirements and weekly delivery to 13 schools. Ben Hill County Schools posted an IFB on May 19, 2026, for food products with July 1, 2026 contract start and multiple schools across the district.
