UNSPSC 50441803: Frozen azuki beans

The variety of beans known as azuki beans that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441803 Frozen azuki beans is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. While the source contains multiple recent opportunities tagged under food-service commodity codes, none specifically solicit frozen azuki beans. The recent solicitations in the dataset overwhelmingly cover mainstream frozen vegetables (corn, carrots, assorted blends, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, peas), fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, and prepared entrees—all solicited repeatedly by correctional facilities, school districts, and state agencies across multiple jurisdictions. Frozen azuki beans do not appear in any of the representative recent opportunities from Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia school districts, or other state and local buyers.

The buying pattern across jurisdictions reflects procurement for high-volume institutional food service, where commodity staples and widely distributed frozen vegetables dominate vendor requests. School districts, state correctional facilities, and state health agencies emphasize USDA grade compliance, Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements, HACCP certification, firm fixed pricing, and delivery within 24–45 days to central distribution or multiple school sites. The absence of azuki bean solicitations—whether frozen, canned, or dried—suggests either minimal demand in state and local procurement, limited integration into institutional nutrition programs, or specification under broader legume or specialty-item categories where the code does not surface in recent activity. Prospective vendors should monitor commodity codes for frozen vegetables (50441000–50441900 family level) and legumes more broadly, but should not expect near-term volume in this specific code.
