UNSPSC 50441848: Frozen tamarind beans

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

UNSPSC 50441848 Frozen tamarind beans is a Commodity code with little active procurement recorded in recent state and local contracts. The code appears in the dataset but does not reflect actual purchasing activity aligned with its narrow product scope. Recent opportunities tagged at or near this code instead show broad institutional food procurement—frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, condiments, and staple grocery items for schools, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and senior services. None of the sampled opportunities specifically name tamarind beans or comparable specialty frozen legumes; the opportunities that do appear under frozen vegetable or grocery line items focus on commodity staples such as corn, mixed vegetable blends, potatoes, and canned goods. This mismatch suggests the code either is rarely used or is being applied to more general frozen food categories that do not reflect the precision the UNSPSC taxonomy intends.

The recent activity that does appear spans state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia, State of New Jersey), county and municipal purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Burke County Public Schools, Early County Board of Education), and school districts across the Southeast, Texas, and Pacific Northwest. Representatives include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 ITB for 360,000 pounds of frozen vegetables due August 20; and the Texas HHSC's July 2026 IFB for frozen food products estimated at $9 million annually across state hospitals and supported living centers. Geographic concentration shows activity in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, with school and correctional facility procurement predominating. The absence of opportunities specifically for frozen tamarind beans suggests this code does not represent a meaningful procurement vector for most state and local buyers.
