UNSPSC 50441808: Frozen black shackamaxon beans

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

UNSPSC 50441808 Frozen black shackamaxon beans is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show virtually no purchasing activity for black shackamaxon beans specifically. Instead, the code's recent solicitations span frozen vegetables broadly—frozen corn, frozen potato products, frozen assorted vegetables, and frozen mixed vegetables—as well as unrelated food service procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health agencies. State and local buyers use this code inconsistently; the opportunities range from state departments of corrections in Oregon to school districts in Georgia and Texas to county jails and health and human services agencies. Oregon Department of Corrections appears most frequently, with multiple frozen vegetable solicitations (corn, potatoes, assorted vegetables, carrots) posted in June and July 2026, all using ITB notice type and offering Oregon-vendor preferences. School districts dominate the volume of opportunities, however, with food service bids from Fairfax County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, and others soliciting hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries under IFB or RFP structures. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and state supported living centers also appear repeatedly across the dataset. Set-asides and local preferences are common: Oregon's ODOC applies 5% preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for resident bidders; school districts emphasize Buy American provisions and domestic sourcing; some allow HUB participation or M/WBE commitment.

The code shows active procurement across Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut, with the most recent and concentrated activity in Oregon (six frozen vegetable solicitations from ODOC in June–July 2026) and school district procurement concentrated in the Southeast. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017451 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds, $0.498/lb historical pricing, due July 24, 2026), ODOC ITB S2910000017439 for frozen potato products—french fries, wedges, tater tots (120,000 pounds, $0.3811/lb prior award, due July 24, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables serving El Paso State Supported Living Center (estimated prior-period value $1.5 million, responses due July 13, 2026). School nutrition procurement spans Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for master grocery K-12 (July 1, 2026 start, substantial volume across 52 schools), Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items and NOI products (April 29, 2026 deadline, approximately 1,100+ line items across both solicitations), and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (June 15, 2026 deadline, multiple food categories with quarterly price escalation permitted). Response dates cluster in April–July 2026, indicating summer contract year transitions for school districts and active institutional food service procurement windows.
