UNSPSC 50461807: Canned or jarred black gram beans

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

UNSPSC 50461807 Canned or jarred black gram beans is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show the code appearing in broader food-service supply procurements for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and school districts. The actual purchasing activity, however, reflects a mix of canned vegetables, proteins, and consumables rather than black gram beans specifically; the code's nominal scope does not align tightly with what is being solicited under its number. State agencies—principally the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Oregon Department of Corrections—dominate recent postings, alongside school districts in Georgia. Texas facilities, particularly state-supported living centers and state hospitals, appear as repeat buyers in multiple simultaneous procurements.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with a single Oregon procurement posted in mid-2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items of prepared foods and food-service supplies, due October 23, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned proteins, soups, and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better standards, with delivery to Salem beginning within 30 days of purchase order issuance (bid due June 19, 2026, prior purchase at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest in February 2026). School nutrition programs in Ben Hill County and Burke County, Georgia also posted food bids spanning hundreds of line items with Buy American and HACCP compliance requirements. No recent opportunities explicitly reference black gram beans.
