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 state and local governments buy as part of broader institutional food procurement — specifically as one line item among dozens or hundreds in multi-category food service contracts for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and county social services programs. Recent solicitations do not isolate frozen azuki beans as a standalone procurement; instead, they tag the code to food bid line items within larger shelf-stable or frozen-protein inventories. The code sees activity primarily through institutional food service operations that require shelf-stable legumes and protein sources for meal preparation at scale, though frozen azuki beans themselves appear as a minor component of these buys rather than a driver of procurement strategy.

State and local food service buyers span county corrections departments, state departments of health and human services, school nutrition programs, and state institutions serving vulnerable populations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Georgia school districts are repeat issuers; county-level buys appear through Gwinnett County (Georgia), Montgomery County (Pennsylvania), and Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations across state-supported living centers and correctional facilities), Oregon (state corrections), Georgia (school nutrition and county social services), Illinois (state veterans home), and Pennsylvania (county corrections). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 (July 2026) for frozen food products totaling approximately $9 million annually to supply state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 (August 2026) for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables including broccoli, corn, and green beans at historical pricing of $0.578–$0.67 per pound; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote (October 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, and canned vegetables for the Department of Community Services, with delivery required by December 7, 2026.
