UNSPSC 50476853: Canned or jarred organic soybeans

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

UNSPSC 50476853 Canned or jarred organic soybeans, a Commodity code, sees modest recent state and local procurement activity concentrated in school nutrition and institutional food service, where school districts and state agencies source canned and jarred vegetables—including organic soybeans—as components of broader grocery and food product solicitations. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia are actively procuring canned vegetables alongside fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods for cafeteria operations, while state institutions including correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and veterans homes solicit canned goods as line items within larger food supply contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), state health and human services commissions managing institutional dining, state departments of corrections, and state veterans homes, with recent solicitations ranging from small quarterly food orders to large annual master grocery contracts supporting thousands of daily meals.

Canned and jarred vegetables including tomatoes, beans, and produce appear regularly in recent solicitations across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, typically as one product category among dozens in RFPs and IFBs. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Rockwood R-VI School District's two concurrent grocery solicitations in Missouri (due April 29, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned-goods solicitations including tomato paste and canned tomatoes at fixed unit pricing with five percent Oregon-fabrication and resident-bidder preferences. School nutrition programs typically require firm fixed pricing for contract periods of one to three years, with price adjustments permitted only upon contract renewal or when supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index documentation, and most contracts stipulate Buy American compliance with domestic agricultural content thresholds of 51 percent or greater.
