UNSPSC 50441828: Frozen hyacinth beans

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

UNSPSC 50441828 Frozen hyacinth beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this item directly by name; instead, frozen vegetable procurement typically bundles hyacinth beans (when sourced) within broader frozen-vegetable lots that include corn, mixed-vegetable blends, green beans, broccoli, and assorted specialty items for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services. The code sees activity primarily through state departments of corrections, health and human services agencies, and school districts sourcing bulk frozen vegetables for cafeteria operations, though hyacinth beans specifically represent a small line item within those larger procurements rather than a standalone category.

The geographic spread centers on Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Connecticut, where state corrections and HHS facilities dominate the buyer base. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for frozen assorted vegetables (360,000 pounds across multiple varieties including mixed blends) due August 20, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products (including vegetables, proteins, and specialty items) to supply state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, estimated at $9 million annually; Burke County Public Schools' May 2026 sealed bid for nearly 400 food line items including frozen vegetables for five schools due June 5, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and frozen food items (including canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026. The code shows consistent activity but hyacinth beans rarely appear as a line-item focus; buyers typically specify frozen-vegetable assortments and allow branded or equivalent substitutions, making individual commodity codes within mixed vegetable procurements difficult to isolate from solicitation summaries alone.
