UNSPSC 50476906: Canned or jarred organic feltham first peas

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

UNSPSC 50476906 Canned or jarred organic feltham first peas is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetable products, primarily peas, procured by state and local governments for institutional food service and nutrition programs. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local bodies actually buy bulk quantities of canned and jarred vegetables—including peas, tomatoes, and mixed canned produce—as part of larger consumables contracts for state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia), and municipal school districts (Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). The scope of work extends beyond the code's nominal focus on organic peas to encompass comprehensive food service procurement where canned vegetables are one line item among dozens spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies—reflecting how state and local procurement offices often bundle related food products under a single solicitation rather than isolate individual produce categories.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for state-supported living centers and state hospitals in Lufkin and El Paso, with responses due in June, July, and October 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's office solicited cafeteria food products statewide in May 2026. In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables due October 19, 2026, Ben Hill County Schools sought food bids for school nutrition due June 15, 2026, and Burke County Public Schools solicited comprehensive grocery procurement due June 5, 2026. Oregon Department of Corrections requested canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases) due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences applied. Illinois issued a quarterly food order solicitation in June 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017872 for consumables and noncontract items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due August 25, 2026, IFB), the Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 for food items including canned vegetables due October 19, 2026 (IWQ), and the Oregon Department of Corrections canned tomatoes procurement due June 19, 2026 (IFB). No recent opportunities under this code specifically isolated canned peas; the code appears to describe a narrow product subset within broader institutional food service categories where procurement offices combine multiple canned vegetable lines and other staples into single solicitations.
