UNSPSC 50441813: Frozen calypso beans

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

UNSPSC 50441813 Frozen calypso beans, a Commodity code, sees limited direct recent activity; state and local procurement under this specific code has not generated solicitations in the dataset. The code nominally refers to a single frozen legume product, but the recent opportunities posted under related frozen-vegetable and food-service codes show that institutional buyers—primarily state departments of corrections, school districts, and health and human services agencies—procure frozen vegetables and legumes as part of broader food service supply contracts rather than through single-commodity solicitations. When frozen specialty vegetables and legumes do appear, they are typically bundled into larger mixed-vegetable, grocery, or food-supply line items, not isolated as distinct products. The issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, state health and human services commissions, and school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. These buyers source frozen products through ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs with firm, fixed unit pricing and FOB Destination delivery to central distribution centers or school warehouse locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, particularly Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in the Mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest. Recent representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen corn and frozen potato ITBs (posted July 2026, due July 24, 2026) and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumable products IFB for state hospitals and living centers (maximum value $4.5 million over three years, posted May 2026, due July 2026). School nutrition procurements dominate the frozen-food market—Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, posted April 2026, due April 27, 2026), Decatur City Schools' frozen foods and grocery IFB (posted April 2026, due May 15, 2026), and Rockwood School District's grocery items contract (posted March 2026, due April 29, 2026) all include frozen vegetables as components of broader line-item procurement. Calypso beans specifically are not named in any recent posting; vendors entering this market should position specialty frozen legumes as value-added options within comprehensive frozen-vegetable or grocery-supply responses, not as standalone commodity bids.
