UNSPSC 50461810: Canned or jarred bobby beans

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

UNSPSC 50461810 Canned or jarred bobby beans is a Commodity code encompassing shelf-stable legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for bobby beans specifically; instead, the code's recent activity concentrates on broader canned vegetable and food product procurements where canned beans, tomatoes, and similar shelf-stable items appear as line items within larger food service contracts rather than as standalone purchases. School districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations typically structured as standing-term contracts covering full fiscal years or longer periods.

State and local procurement under this code originates predominantly from school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, along with state-level agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home system, and state prison food service operations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products including canned goods under NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, and 393 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurement (posted March 31, 2026, due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items with canned fruits and vegetables specified; and the Muscogee County School District fresh-produce and canned-goods ITB (due April 27, 2026) spanning 60 produce and related items. Canned beans and similar products typically compete on firm fixed-price or cost-plus-fee structures, with Buy American requirements, USDA compliance mandates, shelf-life minimums of 12 months, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent records, and awards generally flow to lowest responsive, responsible bidders or on a best-value basis.
