UNSPSC 50441827: Frozen haricot beans

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

UNSPSC 50441827 Frozen haricot beans (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally addresses frozen haricot beans specifically, but the recent opportunities block demonstrates that state and local governments are sourcing frozen vegetables through a much broader set of procurements tagged with adjacent commodity codes — frozen corn, frozen potatoes, frozen carrots, frozen assorted vegetables, and mixed frozen produce in bulk. The opportunities present reflect institutional food service purchasing: correctional facilities, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and specialized residential facilities buying frozen vegetables in truckload quantities for meal preparation. When opportunities do name frozen beans or closely related frozen legumes, they are either absent from the recent block or buried within larger multi-item grocery and food-service contracts that do not isolate bean purchasing as a line item. The code itself does not surface as a primary or standout procurement vehicle in the most recent six months of state and local solicitations reviewed.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities include state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services commissions, county and city school districts (Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois, Connecticut, Texas), county correctional facilities, and transit or special-purpose district food services. Oregon Department of Corrections appears repeatedly as a high-volume purchaser of frozen vegetables across multiple commodity codes, with ITBs posted in June and July 2026 for frozen corn (40,000 pounds), frozen potatoes (120,000 pounds), and frozen assorted vegetables (400,000 pounds total). The Oregon preferences — 5% for Oregon-fabricated goods and 5% for resident bidders, combining to 10% — appear consistent across those solicitations. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission are also repeat buyers of institutional food products. Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Texas, with secondary activity in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Virginia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen corn (S2910000017451, ITB, due July 24, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, IFB, historical contract value $1.5 million annually for prior period). No opportunities in the block target frozen haricot beans as a standalone or primary procurement line item.
