UNSPSC 50441847: Frozen string beans

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

UNSPSC 50441847 Frozen string beans is a Commodity code describing a single product line — frozen green beans and string bean products — that state and local governments procure as part of institutional food service supply contracts. State and local buying under this code occurs almost entirely within larger food-service aggregations: school districts, state departments of corrections, state supported living centers, county social services departments, and other public institutions bundle frozen string beans alongside dozens or hundreds of other food items in single master supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The frozen-bean commodity itself is commodity-level sourcing within those broader scopes — vendors typically quote per-pound or per-case pricing as one line among many in competitive sealed-bid or informal quotation processes.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Mid-Atlantic, with standout volume from Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple statewide institutional food contracts (frozen-food bundles, canteen, and food-service groceries for state supported living centers and hospitals) in which frozen vegetables appear as specified line items; the Oregon Department of Corrections solicited 120,000 pounds of frozen assorted vegetables including green beans (ITB S2910000017692, due August 20, 2026) and 40,000 pounds of frozen corn (ITB S2910000017451, due July 24, 2026), both destined for the Central Distribution Center in Salem with FOB Destination pricing per pound including prepaid transportation. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania has posted recurring as-needed grocery contracts for its correctional facility. Georgia school districts (Gwinnett County, Early County, Burke County) and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education) have issued food bids encompassing frozen vegetables as line-item specifications under National School Lunch Program compliance. The Ben Hill County Schools and New Jersey Department of Human Services have also posted frozen-vegetable components within broader food-service procurements. Pricing in recent Oregon awards ranged from $0.498 to $0.67 per pound; previous winners included Alpine Food Group and JNS Foods. No solo frozen-string-bean procurements appear in the recent dataset — the commodity moves only as part of institutional food contracts with rigorous specification compliance, HACCP certification, temperature-control and shelf-life requirements, and delivery scheduling tied to cafeteria, warehouse, or correctional-facility operations.
