UNSPSC 50476844: Canned or jarred organic moap

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

UNSPSC 50476844 Canned or jarred organic moap, a Commodity code, describes preserved organic produce items that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs, state agency food service operations, and correctional facilities. The code appears underutilized or misclassified in recent solicitations; the opportunities tagged to it span general food procurement (canned vegetables, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods) rather than specifically canned or jarred organic products. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies managing food service operations, including state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, state-supported living centers, and K–12 nutrition programs. Solicitations come from Illinois (State of Illinois Veterans Home, Chicago area schools), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Georgia (multiple school districts, including Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Liberty County, Burke County, Muscogee County, and Ben Hill County), reflecting concentrated activity in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center and other DSHS facilities statewide (due July 13, 2026), with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016405 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem (due June 19, 2026, with 5% Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences); the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products and supplies across four school locations for the 2026–2027 contract year (due June 15, 2026).

Most opportunities tag food supply broadly rather than organic-specific products, with Buy American Act compliance and USDA standards driving specifications. Contract values range from several hundred thousand to nine million dollars annually for large school district and state agency operations. Procurement officers emphasize firm fixed pricing for initial periods with limited midterm adjustments pegged to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices or Consumer Price Index formulas, HACCP compliance and food safety certifications, liability insurance minimums ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and delivery to multiple sites on fixed schedules. School districts dominate the recent activity, collectively seeking hundreds of line items spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, prepared foods, and supplies with weekly or scheduled deliveries. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in most of these solicitations; awards go to lowest responsive, responsible bidders or best-value determinations. The code shows active procurement volume but little evidence of specialized organic-focused buying—successful bidders will likely compete on standard food service procurement rather than organic certification or sourcing differentiation.
