UNSPSC 50461817: Canned or jarred dragon tongue beans

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

UNSPSC 50461817 Canned or jarred dragon tongue beans is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct activity in recent state and local procurement—the source shows no recent solicitations specifically requesting this item. State and local food procurement, particularly for school districts, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies, focuses broadly on canned vegetables and legumes as part of larger multi-item food service contracts rather than as line-item purchases for a single specialty bean variety. When canned legumes appear in solicitations, they are typically embedded within comprehensive food supply RFPs or IFBs that span hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods, making individual bean commodities difficult to isolate for pursuit.

The recent opportunities in the source reflect the actual buying patterns: Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurements (HHS0017449, HHS0016792, HHS0016792V2) sought supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items with canned goods as one category among many; Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, S2910000015837) and tomato paste (S2910000016089) in quantities of 1,904 to 7,616 cases each; Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all solicited comprehensive school nutrition food contracts with hundreds of line items due between February and June 2026. None of these solicitations explicitly named dragon tongue beans or similar specialty dried legumes as distinct line items. The geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, reflecting the prevalence of school district and state agency food procurement in these states. If your firm supplies specialty canned legumes, entry lies through established food-service distributors responding to master grocery and food supply contracts rather than direct state and local procurement.
