UNSPSC 50441850: Frozen wax beans

The variety of beans known as wax beans that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50441850 Frozen wax beans is a Commodity code that names a single frozen vegetable product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows virtually no recent opportunity volume specifically for frozen wax beans. Instead, the recent opportunities posted under or near this code span a much broader frozen and fresh vegetable category, with issuing bodies across corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies buying frozen mixed vegetables, frozen assorted blends, frozen carrots, frozen corn, and fresh produce as part of larger grocery and food service contracts. The actual purchasing pattern reflects institutional food service procurement for meal programs and inmate feeding across multiple product categories rather than isolated commodity purchases. Frozen wax beans do not appear as a line item in any of the representative recent solicitations; the code's nominal scope diverges significantly from what is actually being solicited and purchased today.

State and local buyers in this space are predominantly correctional facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Montgomery County Correctional Facility, Pennsylvania), school districts and school boards across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia, and health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois state facilities). These issuing bodies typically bundle frozen vegetables as one commodity line within much larger food service contracts that span proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for frozen vegetable assortments, frozen corn, and frozen carrots with response dates in April and June 2026, offering Oregon-based vendors a 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and an additional 5 percent for resident bidders. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (Bid #26271, due June 15, 2026), Early County Board of Education in Georgia (due June 8, 2026), Burke County Public Schools in Georgia (due June 5, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) have posted school nutrition food bids. The geographic concentration of recent activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with school nutrition contracts and correctional facility food service driving the largest volume. Given that frozen wax beans as a standalone commodity do not surface in recent opportunities, interest in this code should focus on whether your firm can supply frozen vegetables as part of larger institutional food service contracts rather than as a specialized line item.
