UNSPSC 50441835: Frozen madeira/madera beans

The variety of beans known as madeira/madera beans that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441835 Frozen madeira/madera beans — a Commodity code — sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code name predominantly solicit frozen vegetables and comprehensive grocery procurement across multiple categories (corn, potatoes, assorted blends, carrots, fresh produce, and prepared foods), but frozen beans specifically do not appear as line items or stand-alone solicitations in the recent record. State and local issuing bodies using adjacent frozen-vegetable codes include the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and county correctional facilities. The solicitation pattern shows heavy concentration among K–12 school nutrition programs (supporting breakfast and lunch services), state corrections departments (ODOC, TDCJ, HHSC), and county or regional food service operations. Geographic activity clusters in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and the Mid-Atlantic states, with representative recent opportunities including the Oregon Department of Corrections' Invitation to Bid for frozen vegetables (ITBs S2910000017451 and S2910000017439, due July 24, 2026, for corn and potato products respectively at historical reference prices of $0.498 and $0.3811 per pound); the Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery procurement (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026, covering 1,100+ line items under the National School Lunch Program); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide food and consumable bid (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, for state facilities with prior-period spend of $1.5 million). School districts predominantly use firm fixed-price, line-item bidding with Buy American requirements, HACCP plan mandates, and fuel-surcharge prohibitions; corrections agencies similarly emphasize unit pricing on FOB Destination terms with delivery within 30–45 days.

The code itself shows no direct recent procurement signals specific to frozen madeira or madera beans as a distinct commodity. Vendors pursuing frozen-bean opportunities in state and local markets should monitor frozen-vegetable codes (such as assorted-blend categories) and generic grocery solicitations from school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations, as beans appear grouped within broader vegetable-mix contracts rather than as standalone line items. The absence of bean-specific solicitations suggests either limited demand in the state and local segment, aggregation into mixed-vegetable lots, or potential reclassification under produce or bulk-commodity codes. Firms holding frozen-bean inventory should track issuing-body RFP cycles in the second and third quarters (July through September) when school districts and corrections facilities issue annual bids for the fiscal year beginning July 1; Oregon, Texas, and Georgia show the strongest recent activity.
