UNSPSC 50476904: Canned or jarred organic darfon peas

The variety of organic sugar peas known as organic darfon peas that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50476904 Canned or jarred organic darfon peas is a Commodity code covering branded and generic preserved vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily school districts and correctional facilities. The recent opportunities under this code show minimal direct procurement of organic darfon peas specifically; instead, state and local issuing bodies solicit canned vegetables as part of broader food supply contracts encompassing produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and related items for school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, and correctional institutions. The mix of issuing bodies includes school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state operations), and state correctional systems. School district nutrition programs represent the largest volume of activity under related canned vegetable codes, followed by state hospital and correctional facility food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with representative solicitations spanning Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Oregon, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB on January 26, 2026, for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a due date of February 9, 2026, offering reference pricing of $14.30 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumable products statewide via IFB HHS0016792 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, encompassing 210 line items including canned goods alongside fresh, frozen, and prepared foods for state hospitals and supported living centers. Ben Hill County Schools issued an IFB on May 19, 2026, for comprehensive food products including canned fruits and vegetables under Buy American requirements, with sealed bids due June 15, 2026. Fairfax County Public Schools solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) on April 6, 2026, covering delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with bids due April 27, 2026. Canned vegetables typically appear as line items within broader food supply contracts priced per case on firm fixed-price or net-off-invoice terms, with annual contract values ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $9 million depending on jurisdiction size and student or facility population served.
