UNSPSC 50461803: Canned or jarred azuki beans

The variety of beans known as azuki beans that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461803 Canned or jarred azuki beans is a Commodity code capturing a narrow product line that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through broad food-service solicitations covering dozens or hundreds of line items rather than as a standalone commodity. Recent state and local opportunities show no dedicated bids for azuki beans; instead, the code appears tangentially within multi-category food procurements issued by school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia serving through cooperative purchasing), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). These jurisdictions buy canned legumes, dried goods, and prepared foods as components of weekly or annual food supply contracts; azuki beans, when present, are typically one item among 50 to 900+ line items priced on a per-case or per-unit basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition food products covering hundreds of line items with delivery to four school locations (bids due June 15, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (bids due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (proposals due February 18, 2026). Pricing is typically firm and fixed for the contract term with quarterly or annual escalation permitted only upon verified third-party market data such as USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index adjustments. School districts emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety plans, and Child Nutrition Program standards; correctional and health facilities stress USDA grade conformance and shelf-life requirements. No bids in the recent block name azuki beans explicitly; the code's activity is wholly embedded in larger food procurement vehicles rather than category-specific opportunities.
