UNSPSC 50461822: Canned or jarred french navy beans

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

UNSPSC 50461822 Canned or jarred french navy beans, a Commodity-level code, covers shelf-stable legume products purchased by state and local governments primarily for institutional food service — cafeteria operations, state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The work involves supplying bulk quantities of canned or jarred beans to meet food-service specifications including USDA grade standards, sodium content limits, shelf-life requirements, and compliance with federal Child Nutrition or Buy American provisions where applicable. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of Criminal Justice), Georgia school districts and county governments (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), Oregon state agencies (Department of Corrections), and Illinois state government. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies soliciting comprehensive food procurement contracts that bundle beans with dozens of other food items rather than purchasing beans in isolation, reflecting how institutional food service typically consolidates purchasing across multiple commodity codes.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted two separate IFBs in August and October 2026 for consumable food products for state supported living centers (response dates August 25 and October 23, 2026); a third Texas IFB from June 2026 for the HHSC El Paso facility carried a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, indicating large-scale procurement volume. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 (due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences, providing a benchmark for competitive canned-vegetable pricing at $13.75 per case. School districts in Georgia — Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools — each posted food bids in May and June 2026 requiring hundreds of line items across multiple categories with firm pricing for initial 30-day periods and subsequent adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index verification. Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote (IWQ) in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods with a December 7 delivery deadline tied to funding requirements. Contracts typically run one fiscal year with renewal options, require F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days to thirty days of order, and evaluate bidders on responsiveness, price, past performance, and compliance with federal standards.
