UNSPSC 50461820: Canned or jarred flageolet beans

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

UNSPSC 50461820 Canned or jarred flageolet beans is a Commodity code that in practice covers a narrow slice of state and local institutional food procurement — canned beans and similar shelf-stable legumes appear as line items within much larger food-service buys for state health and human services facilities, correctional institutions, and school districts rather than as standalone procurements. Recent state and local opportunities tag this code alongside dozens of other canned and shelf-stable proteins, vegetables, and dry goods in consolidated food-service solicitations issued by state health departments, departments of corrections, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia), state correctional departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). Work consists of supplying canned beans and equivalent items to institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and canteens on a recurring basis, with vendors typically responding to line-item pricing within broader competitive food-service contracts rather than winning dedicated bean-only awards.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), which encompasses 210 line items of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (a directly comparable shelf-stable commodity, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based vendors receiving 5 percent evaluation preference; Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for food products serving four school locations (due June 15, 2026) with Buy American Act requirements; and Burke County Public Schools' comprehensive grocery procurement covering nearly 400 line items across five schools (due June 5, 2026). No dedicated flageolet-bean procurement appears in the recent opportunities block; the code sees activity only when embedded within multi-category institutional food buys where price and availability drive vendor selection across dozens of competing line items.
