UNSPSC 50441850 Frozen wax beans is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy as part of broader institutional food procurement to supply correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and senior services programs.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Human Services, State of Georgia, State of New Jersey, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools, Early County Board of Education), and specialized state facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple frozen-vegetable solicitations over the past four months (frozen corn in July 2026, frozen assorted vegetables in June 2026).
