UNSPSC 50476831: Canned or jarred organic gobo

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

UNSPSC 50476831 Canned or jarred organic gobo, a Commodity code, describes specialty preserved vegetables that state and local governments procure primarily through institutional food-service contracts for correctional facilities, health and human services centers, veterans homes, and school nutrition programs. Recent opportunities show no direct solicitations for organic gobo specifically; state and local buyers instead solicit broadly for canned vegetables, tomato products, and fresh produce under parent-level codes, with canned goods appearing as line items within larger food procurement vehicles. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools), state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department), and occasional county health and correctional agencies. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, typically bundling specialty items like canned vegetables into broader food-supply RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs that span hundreds of line items across categories of fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples.

The geographic spread centers on the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (S2910000016089, IFB posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026, seeking approximately 7,616 cases meeting USDA Grade B or better with sodium not exceeding 240 mg per 100 grams); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, with historical spend of $1.5 million); and multiple school district grocery and produce contracts in Georgia and Missouri spanning 200 to 900 line items at price ranges from $4.4 million (Douglas County School System RFP) to $9 million (food supply and distribution services). Canned or jarred items appear consistently as components in these broad procurements but are rarely solicited in isolation; vendors pursuing this Commodity code should position specialty canned vegetables as part of integrated food-service distributor capabilities rather than as standalone products.
