UNSPSC 50441809: Frozen blackeyed beans

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

UNSPSC 50441809 Frozen blackeyed beans, a Commodity code, does not correspond to the recent state and local contract opportunities in the dataset. The code nominally names a single frozen vegetable product, yet the recent solicitations tagged under or near this classification are procuring frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen carrots, frozen assorted blends, and broader grocery or food service supplies—but not frozen blackeyed beans specifically. State and local purchasing offices are issuing ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs for institutional food service (correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts), and the opportunities reflect large-volume, all-inclusive pricing on FOB Destination terms with firm fixed pricing, delivery schedules, FDA/USDA compliance, and liability insurance minimums in the $500,000 to $2 million range. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health and human services, county and municipal school districts, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts appear repeatedly in the recent record, typically soliciting frozen vegetables, fresh produce, and supplemental food products through ITB or IFB processes with response deadlines of 4–8 weeks.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Illinois, and New Jersey. Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen corn (120 truckloads, $0.498 per pound historical pricing, due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years, responses due various dates through mid-2026), multiple Georgia school district food bids covering fresh produce and grocery items (Bulloch County, Burke County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, each with 300+ line items and July 2026 contract starts), and the Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution services (32,000 meals daily, $9 million annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026). No recent solicitations explicitly reference frozen blackeyed beans as a standalone commodity line item. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with current institutional food procurement priorities under the frozen-vegetable and broader food-service taxonomy.
