UNSPSC 50451813: Frozen organic calypso beans

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

UNSPSC 50451813 Frozen organic calypso beans is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable and specialty food products purchased by state agencies, county governments, and school districts for institutional food service, senior services, and nutrition-assistance programs. While the code nominally names a specific frozen legume product, state and local buyers actually procure this code as part of broader food-supply solicitations that bundle dozens of line items — canned proteins, vegetables, grains, condiments, and specialty items — purchased competitively on a unit-price basis. The work involves responding to informal written quotes (IWQ) and formal bids that specify brand preferences with "or approved equivalent" language, managing delivery windows and temperature controls where applicable, maintaining food-safety certifications such as HACCP plans, and complying with Buy American provisions and domestic sourcing preferences when the buying entity emphasizes them. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement agencies (State of Georgia), and school district food-service departments (Early County Board of Education), each operating under their own procurement rules and contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of food items due October 19, 2026, with delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date; full scope and pricing detail were contained in an attached PDF. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products under their FY27 Food Bid (PE55045NONST2027000000006) due June 8, 2026, with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend. School district solicitations typically emphasize USDA compliance, low-sodium and whole-grain specifications, domestic sourcing, and allow piggybacking by other districts on identical bid terms.
