UNSPSC 50441844: Frozen pinto beans

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

UNSPSC 50441844 Frozen pinto beans (Commodity) represents a narrow food commodity frequently bundled into larger institutional food service procurements by state and local governments. State and local purchasing offices acquire frozen pinto beans as line items within multi-category food bids, typically for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The commodity appears consistently in meal-service contracts but rarely as a standalone procurement vehicle; instead, it is specified within broader RFQs, RFBs, and IFBs for shelf-stable and frozen food products where vendors quote unit pricing across dozens or hundreds of line items.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types. Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education) and Texas facilities (TDCJ cafeteria operations, HHSC state hospitals and supported living centers) dominate the recent record, alongside correctional facilities in Pennsylvania (Montgomery County) and Oregon Department of Corrections frozen-vegetable bids. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy and senior services in Georgia (Gwinnett County) round out the issuing-body mix. A representative recent opportunity is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products solicitation (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026), which encompassed approximately 382 line items including grains, proteins, and miscellaneous staples delivered FOB destination to six TDCJ distribution points, with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder per line item based on best value. Another is Burke County Public Schools' school nutrition food bid (PE55037NONST2027000000007, due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.), covering nearly 400 line items across five schools with pricing firm for 30 days post-award and subsequent adjustments permitted on a six-month basis. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Most food service contracts run twelve months (July through June for schools; September through August for state facilities) with extension or renewal options.
