UNSPSC 50461806: Canned or jarred black beans

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

UNSPSC 50461806 Canned or jarred black beans is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable legume products state and local governments source for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers. Recent opportunities show procurement activity centered on multi-item food service bids where canned black beans appear as one line item among dozens or hundreds of products rather than as standalone category requests. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state departments of corrections. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas agencies represent a large share of recent activity, with solicitations for state-supported living centers and correctional facilities commanding substantial annual volumes; Georgia and Oregon also show active procurement across school districts and state agencies.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and state-supported living centers statewide, a 210-line-item procurement with responses due March 19, 2026, and a maximum contract value of $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (similar legume-category commodity) due June 19, 2026, with prior purchasing history at $13.75 per case; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for school nutrition products spanning fresh, frozen, and canned categories with bids due June 15, 2026; and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia seeking bids on nearly 400 food line items for the 2026–2027 school year with bids due June 5, 2026. Delivery terms across all recent opportunities are FOB Destination with freight prepaid and included in unit pricing, responses require product samples and nutritional documentation within 24 to 72 hours, and awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-line-item basis with firm fixed pricing for 30 days post-award and subsequent adjustments tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indexing.
