UNSPSC 50613404 Canned or jarred Non GMO bianco lungo di parigi cucumbers is a Commodity code that describes shelf-stable preserved vegetables procured by state and local governments as part of broader institutional food service contracts. Recent state and local opportunities show this code appearing within large consumables and food-supply solicitations issued by state health and human services departments, county boards, school districts, and correctional agencies. The actual work solicited under this code encompasses canned and jarred vegetables as line items within comprehensive food procurement bids serving state supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services operations. Issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia school districts, and state nutrition programs — a mix of state agencies, county governments, and local education authorities. Most solicitations bundle canned vegetables with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and food service supplies in single master awards rather than isolating commodity-level purchases, reflecting how institutional food service procurement consolidates supply chains around central distribution and canteen operations.

Geographic activity clusters heavily in Texas and Georgia, with recent opportunities also in Oregon and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), encompassing 22 line items of prepared and shelf-stable foods with delivery within seven days at F.O.B. Destination; the Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) with delivery to Salem at F.O.B. Destination; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive food products across multiple categories delivered to four school locations (due June 15, 2026). School nutrition programs and state facility food services dominate the demand signal, with contracts typically running July through June fiscal years or September through August state fiscal years, renewal options, and quarterly or annual rebid cycles. Pricing is consistently requested on a unit basis with all freight prepaid and included; bidders must meet USDA standards, provide references, carry liability insurance, and comply with Buy American provisions where applicable.
