UNSPSC 50451806: Frozen organic black beans

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

UNSPSC 50451806 Frozen organic black beans, a Commodity code, encompasses shelf-stable and prepared food products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service and community nutrition programs. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers procuring bulk quantities of canned proteins, vegetables, grains, legumes, and condiments for school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and general institutional food supply. The scope includes both name-brand and approved-equivalent products delivered in case quantities with firm pricing structures and strict compliance requirements around labeling, condition, and USDA nutritional standards. Issuing bodies span county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts appearing as repeat active buyers under this code tier.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, where three recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 represent the current market. Representative recent work includes Gwinnett County's informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026, requiring F.O.B. destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center with 72-hour turnaround and December 7 final-receipt deadline; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for 300+ food items (including frozen and fresh proteins, dairy, produce, and grains) with domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences, due June 8, 2026, for the July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 school year; and the State of Georgia's broader food and kitchen products solicitation posted May 15, 2026 with June 22, 2026 deadline. Award methodologies favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders based on unit-of-measure pricing, with vendors required to provide references, maintain food safety certifications (HACCP), carry substantial liability insurance, and comply with Buy American and E-Verify provisions on larger awards.
