UNSPSC 50461805: Canned or jarred black appaloosa beans

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

UNSPSC 50461805 Canned or jarred black appaloosa beans is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred legumes and vegetables procured by state and local governments to supply institutional food service operations, primarily state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. Recent solicitations frame the scope more broadly as canned proteins, vegetables, and legume products in bulk quantities for cafeteria, canteen, and campus dining, rather than the specific black appaloosa bean variety alone. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, state departments of corrections, county governments, school districts, and county senior services divisions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is a repeat buyer, soliciting consumables and food products for multiple state-supported living centers; other issuing bodies appear in single opportunities in the available record.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with recent high-volume institutional food bids posted between May and October 2026. 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 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a response deadline of July 13, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections bid S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a June 19, 2026 closing and a prior award at $13.75 per case; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, with an October 19, 2026 due date. School districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools) and Texas (via TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF) are active buyers of canned vegetables and legumes as components of comprehensive food service bids, typically with annual contract terms and delivery to multiple school or facility locations.
