UNSPSC 50476845: Canned or jarred organic moo

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

UNSPSC 50476845 Canned or jarred organic moo, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, including state agencies, school districts, corrections departments, and health and human services facilities. The code's activity centers on canned vegetables, tomato products, and organic or specialty preserved foods used in volume purchasing for cafeterias, prison food service, veterans homes, and state-supported living centers. Soliciting bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county school systems, and municipal school districts across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement of 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026). School nutrition programs generate substantial recurring demand; Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District each issued food bids in spring 2026 covering hundreds of line items with contract values estimated in the millions for annual supply.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Missouri, with the heaviest concentration among school district nutrition programs and state corrections or health facilities. The geographic spread reflects both concentrated state-level procurement (Texas HHSC serving statewide facilities, Oregon ODOC serving central distribution) and distributed school-district activity (multiple Georgia counties, Missouri Rockwood district serving 19,000 students). Specifications across opportunities emphasize USDA Grade B or better compliance, sodium content limits, minimum shelf life of twelve months, Buy American provisions in school contexts, and FOB Destination pricing with all freight included. Contract awards typically favor lowest responsive, responsible bidders with evaluation on price, compliance with specifications, and demonstrated ability to perform. Payment terms run Net 30 to Net 40 from delivery or invoice receipt. School district procurements show firm fixed pricing for initial periods with quarterly or midterm escalation permitted only upon documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater, while state health and corrections facilities occasionally allow price adjustments tied to federal minimum wage or Consumer Price Index formulas. Set-asides and preference programs are not systematically applied across this code; Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for in-state fabrication and resident bidders, while most school and state health procurements remain open competitive.
