UNSPSC 50441836: Frozen marrow beans

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

UNSPSC 50441836 Frozen marrow beans is a Commodity code that describes a single shelf-stable food product, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code is sparse. Recent solicitations tagged with this code include institutional food procurement for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and senior services—environments where bulk frozen vegetables anchor meal planning and nutrition compliance. However, the opportunities in the dataset reflect broader frozen vegetable and grocery buys rather than marrow beans specifically; issuers are casting wider nets across commodity families (frozen assorted vegetables, corn, potatoes) and multi-item food bundles that may include marrow beans as one line item among dozens.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia, State of New Jersey), county governments (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; Gwinnett County, Georgia), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education, Ben Hill County Schools), and local agencies (City of Bridgeport). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and New Jersey. A representative recent opportunity is Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 (October 2026), an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services with a three-day response window, where marrow beans would compete as one line item in a 35-item food bundle. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetables (corn, assorted blends, potatoes) with standing Oregon-vendor preferences and delivery to Salem; Texas HHSC has issued multiple IFBs for institutional frozen foods with contract values reaching $9 million annually and weeks-long bidding cycles. The code itself shows limited recent standalone activity—most buys occur as part of comprehensive institutional food contracts where a single frozen marrow bean line item sits alongside proteins, vegetables, dairy, and pantry staples, making pursuit viable only for vendors with multi-category food service capacity and institutional logistics infrastructure.
