UNSPSC 50441847: Frozen string beans

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

UNSPSC 50441847 Frozen string beans (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement primarily as part of broader frozen-vegetable and food-service solicitations, but recent activity under this specific code shows limited standalone opportunities. The code reflects what government institutions actually purchase: individual frozen vegetable line items for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school districts, and distribution-support programs. State and local buyers treat frozen string beans as a component within comprehensive food procurement rather than as a standalone commodity, bundling them with frozen corn, mixed vegetables, carrots, and broccoli in single ITB or RFP packages.

Issuing bodies pursuing frozen-vegetable contracts span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Connecticut), county correctional facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), and municipal school boards. Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas DHHS emerge as repeat buyers; both issued multiple frozen-vegetable solicitations in the January–July 2026 window. Geographic activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for frozen corn (120,000 pounds, response due July 24, 2026) and April 2026 ITB for frozen assorted vegetables including green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and stir-fry blend (approximately 400,000 pounds total, response due April 22, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items including frozen vegetables statewide (maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years, responses were due March 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' annual food bid (Georgia, responses due June 15, 2026) encompassing frozen produce as one category. Pricing in recent Oregon awards has ranged from $0.42 to $0.689 per pound depending on variety and case size; Texas and Georgia school districts typically include frozen items in broader per-unit or per-case line-item pricing. Delivery consolidation, FOB-destination terms, FDA/USDA compliance, and six-month to one-year shelf-life requirements are standard across the code.
