UNSPSC 50461808: Canned or jarred black shackamaxon beans

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

UNSPSC 50461808 Canned or jarred black shackamaxon beans is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty canned legume products for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchasing concentrated in school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, and correctional institutions that source canned and jarred beans—often as part of broader food supply contracts spanning dozens or hundreds of line items. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, and Muscogee County School District in Georgia), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Georgia Department of Education), and a few county systems. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity—most bid cycles run annually for the July-to-June fiscal year with firm pricing for 12 months and allowances for midterm adjustments tied to documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater. Procurement is structured as both narrow single-commodity buys and as line items nested within master grocery contracts that include hundreds of SKUs across proteins, produce, dairy, dry goods, and prepared foods.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), Texas (HHSC statewide), Oregon (Department of Corrections), and Illinois (Department of Veterans Affairs). Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, a five-state cooperative buy through the GEC Buying Cooperative managed by Douglas County School System for fresh produce and eggs with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026, and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products with bids due June 15, 2026. Texas and Georgia school districts have posted the most recent solicitations, with multiple competitive cycles in spring 2026. Buy American provisions are standard across school and state institutional procurement. Vendors must typically maintain $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability insurance, demonstrate debarment compliance, and submit firm pricing on line-item sheets; weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school locations is the norm, with Net 30 payment terms common.
