UNSPSC 50461812: Canned or jarred brown lazy wife beans

The variety of beans known as brown lazy wife beans that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461812 Canned or jarred brown lazy wife beans is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned legumes and related food staples to stock institutional food service operations, primarily dining facilities at state health and human services centers, correctional institutions, school districts, and senior services programs. Recent opportunities show procurement of canned beans alongside broader consumables categories — canned vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy products, condiments, and food service supplies — in mixed lots rather than beans alone. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), state correctional departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Georgia), and state-level purchasing divisions. State agencies dominate the recent activity, with Texas HHSC and statewide procurement entities accounting for multiple concurrent solicitations.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued three separate IFBs in the past four months for consumables and food products serving state supported living centers in Lufkin and El Paso, with estimated annual values ranging from $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB in June 2026 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes with a prior purchase price of $13.75 per case. Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, with a three-day turnaround and delivery by December 7, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools, both in Georgia, solicited comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 encompassing hundreds of line items for school nutrition programs across multiple facilities. These opportunities reflect institutional food service procurement with firm-fixed or fixed-for-initial-period pricing structures, FOB Destination delivery terms, rapid turnaround requirements (typically 7 to 30 days post-order), and compliance with USDA grades, FDA labeling, HACCP standards, and Buy American provisions where applicable.
