UNSPSC 50441812: Frozen brown lazy wife beans

The variety of beans known as brown lazy wife beans that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441812 Frozen brown lazy wife beans (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of larger institutional food service contracts, particularly for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior services departments. Recent solicitations show this commodity embedded within broader food procurement vehicles spanning dozens or hundreds of line items; the code itself does not appear as a standalone solicitation but rather as one component within multi-category grocery, frozen vegetable, or food service bids. State and local buyers source frozen beans and bean products through competitive bidding on fixed-price or brand-or-equal terms, typically requiring USDA Grade A or B compliance, temperature specifications (0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower at warehouse, 10 degrees or less upon delivery), minimum shelf life (six months or longer), and delivery to centralized distribution points or facility cafeterias. Vendors must meet product specifications exactly, deliver on FOB destination basis with transportation prepaid, and comply with food safety standards including FDA/USDA compliance, HACCP protocols, and allergen labeling.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Schools, Ben Hill County Schools), and special-purpose districts. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338V1 (Frozen Food Products, approximately $9 million estimated annual volume, responses due August 18, 2026, serving 18 qualified ordering entities statewide); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 (Vegetables Frozen, Assorted, 360,000 pounds including frozen beans, responses due August 20, 2026); Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (responses due October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' line-by-line food bid (responses due June 15, 2026) supporting the National School Lunch Program across four schools. Most solicitations offer brand-or-equal specifications, require minimum three references, mandate commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million depending on issuer), and apply Buy American provisions where federal child nutrition funding is involved.
