UNSPSC 50441827: Frozen haricot beans

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

UNSPSC 50441827 Frozen haricot beans is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable frozen vegetable products, particularly beans and mixed vegetable blends, for institutional food service operations including schools, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show government agencies purchasing frozen vegetables as part of broader grocery and food-service contracts rather than in standalone haricot-bean-specific solicitations; the code appears most relevant when frozen beans are itemized within multi-category food procurement, as seen in Oregon Department of Corrections purchases of frozen assorted vegetables and Texas Health and Human Services Commission food-service procurements that include frozen vegetable line items alongside proteins, dairy, and prepared entrees.

State and local issuers soliciting under related frozen-vegetable codes span county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Montgomery County Purchasing), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, New Jersey Department of Human Services), and school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools) across Georgia, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Geographic activity clusters around Texas (multiple HHSC institutional procurements), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and the Southeast (school districts). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017692 (360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables—broccoli, assorted blends, corn, and green beans—due August 20, 2026, with 5–10% Oregon-resident and Oregon-goods preferences), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017338 (106 line items of frozen food products including vegetables for state hospitals and supported living centers, estimated annual volume $9 million, due August 18, 2026), and Gwinnett County IWQ 140229 (approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables, due October 19, 2026, awarded to lowest responsive bidder). Opportunities reflect F.O.B. destination pricing with embedded freight, firm fixed-unit pricing per pound or case, temperature and shelf-life specifications (typically 0–10 degrees Fahrenheit with 3–12 months remaining shelf life), delivery to central distribution points or school warehouses, and compliance with FDA/USDA standards and HACCP requirements.
