UNSPSC 50441833: Frozen kidney beans

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

UNSPSC 50441833 Frozen kidney beans is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying frozen vegetable products—principally frozen kidney beans and related frozen produce varieties—as food supply for institutional feeding operations including correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations reveal that frozen kidney beans and similar frozen vegetables are components of broader food procurement bids rather than standalone line items; they appear alongside mixed frozen vegetable assortments, corn, broccoli, and other frozen produce within large-scale food supply contracts. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county governments, school districts, and senior services departments. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) appear as repeat buyers. Gwinnett County (Georgia), Ben Hill County Schools, and Burke County Schools also solicited frozen or canned vegetables as part of broader food bids in the recent cycle.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with additional recent solicitations from Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 ITB for 360,000 pounds of mixed frozen vegetables (broccoli, assorted blends, corn, and green beans) with a response date of August 20, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST, featuring a 10 percent Oregon preference; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 RFQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's September 2026 IFB for groceries and produce to the Correctional Facility due September 30, 2026; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for frozen food products spanning 106 line items with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million over three years, due August 18, 2026. Most institutional food bids require FOB destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, minimum shelf-life guarantees (typically three to six months), and delivery to multiple facilities on fixed weekly or monthly schedules. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon offers combined 10 percent preferences for fabrication and residency, while school districts emphasize Buy American and domestic sourcing.
