UNSPSC 50441837: Frozen mat beans

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

UNSPSC 50441837 Frozen mat beans, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable frozen vegetable products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily frozen beans in bulk cases supplied to correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school districts, and county social-service agencies. Recent solicitations frame the work as multi-case food procurement tied to ongoing meal service operations rather than single-unit retail purchases; frozen beans appear as line items within larger food bids encompassing proteins, vegetables, dairy, and condiments delivered on regular schedules to cafeterias, warehouses, and distribution centers.

The issuing bodies are predominantly state-level correctional and health agencies, state supported living centers, county governments, and school districts across the South and West. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear in multiple solicitations; state agencies (Illinois, Oregon, Texas, Georgia, New Jersey) and county bodies (Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Gwinnett County Georgia) also solicit regularly under related frozen-vegetable codes. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, with additional posting activity in Connecticut and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' frozen-vegetable solicitation (S2910000017692, ITB posted August 6, 2026, due August 20, 2026) for 360,000 pounds of assorted frozen vegetables including green beans and other products, priced at $0.578 to $0.67 per pound with FOB destination delivery to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's frozen-food procurement (HHS0017338, IFB posted July 17, 2026, due August 18, 2026) for 106 line items of frozen products across state hospitals and supported living centers with an estimated annual volume of $9 million; and Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (PE61000NONST2027000000006, IFB posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) covering fresh and frozen produce for school nutrition programs. Frozen beans and related vegetables are typically priced per pound or per case, delivered FOB destination with temperature and shelf-life compliance required, and awarded to lowest responsive responsible bidders meeting specification and delivery terms.
