UNSPSC 50451849: Frozen organic tonka beans

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

UNSPSC 50451849 Frozen organic tonka beans is a Commodity code that maps to state and local procurement of shelf-stable and specialty food products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show little activity specifically for tonka beans themselves. Instead, the code appears in broader food-procurement contexts where state and local governments buy mixed food baskets—canned proteins, grains, condiments, dairy, and produce—alongside non-food service supplies for senior programs, school meals, and other public food operations. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education). The work involves responding to informal written quotes (IWQ), line-by-line bids, and food-service RFQs with tight turnarounds, firm pricing, and compliance requirements including Buy American preferences, HACCP plans, liability insurance, and E-Verify verification.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County posted an IWQ in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026 with F.O.B. Destination delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia issued a broader food-supplies bid in May 2026 due June 22, 2026; and Early County Board of Education posted a FY27 food bid in May 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items plus non-food service supplies for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The code shows limited recent Georgia state and local activity and no visible national spread, making current pursuit opportunity modest unless tonka beans are being bought under a different code or bundled into larger food-service contracts outside this commodity classification.
