UNSPSC 50441824: Frozen green beans

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

UNSPSC 50441824 Frozen green beans (Commodity) captures a narrow but steady product line in institutional food service procurement, grounded in state and local purchasing for corrections facilities, schools, and health and human services agencies. State and local governments buy frozen green beans as one component of broader frozen vegetable assortments and cafeteria supply contracts; recent solicitations show these products itemized within larger bids for frozen vegetable mixes, institutional meal programs, and emergency nutrition services rather than as standalone procurements. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county and municipal correctional facilities, and school districts across multiple states. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat purchasers in the recent record, with school nutrition programs in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Pennsylvania soliciting frozen vegetables as part of broader cafeteria procurement bundles.

Activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and South, with Oregon Department of Corrections issuing multiple frozen vegetable ITBs (including carrots, corn, potato products, and assorted blends) at $0.30–$0.67 per pound pricing in recent months, and Texas facilities (TDCJ, Health and Human Services Commission state supported living centers) soliciting frozen items as line items within larger food service contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 40,000 pounds of frozen sweet corn (S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026), priced at historical reference $0.498 per pound; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, historical value $4.5 million over three years, amended to March 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering delivery to 52 school locations. School district bids typically bundle frozen vegetables with fresh produce, proteins, and dry goods in competitive food service contracts with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and HACCP plan requirements; correctional facilities and state health agencies source frozen vegetables as individual commodity line items or within broader assorted frozen-product lots with per-pound or per-case pricing. The code sees consistent but not dominant activity—frozen green beans appear as one line item among hundreds in most food service solicitations, making standalone bids rare.
