UNSPSC 50461804: Canned or jarred barlotti beans

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

UNSPSC 50461804 Canned or jarred barlotti beans, a Commodity code, sees state and local procurement activity primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service solicitations that bundle canned beans and legumes with broader grocery and food supply contracts. The code captures what state and local governments actually buy: canned and jarred legume products for child nutrition services, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers, typically ordered as line items within larger food procurement RFPs and IFBs rather than as standalone solicitations. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (including large systems such as Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and multiple Georgia and Texas school districts), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans homes. The code shows no recent activity with barlotti beans specifically; recent canned legume solicitations target tomatoes, produce, and broad-based food supply rather than named bean varieties, suggesting barlotti beans are either procured under generic legume or canned-goods categories or sourced through standing contracts rather than competitive bid.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Illinois based on recent institutional and school nutrition solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables at state-supported living centers (response due July 13, 2026); Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri issuing IFB for grocery items 2026–2027 (bids due April 29, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia issuing IFB #26271 for food products covering fresh produce, dairy, and staple items across four schools (bids due June 15, 2026). The sourcing pattern reflects demand-driven procurement tied to fiscal-year food service contracts, with awards typically made to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive bid and firm-fixed pricing over 12-month terms. No recent opportunities tag the code explicitly for barlotti beans, indicating the commodity may be embedded within broader UNSPSC classifications for canned vegetables or legumes during actual procurement execution.
