UNSPSC 50461824: Canned or jarred green beans

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

UNSPSC 50461824 Canned or jarred green beans, a Commodity code, covers canned and jarred vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs, state-facility food service operations, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show state agencies and school districts buying canned vegetables as part of broader food service contracts that include proteins, dairy, fresh produce, and prepared items; the code captures a single line item within larger procurement bundles rather than standalone vegetable purchases. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county school districts, and municipal school systems across multiple states. The Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the Oregon Department of Corrections represent repeat buyers of food supplies that include canned vegetables, while numerous county and independent school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia source canned goods as part of annual school nutrition contracts.

Recent activity spans the Southeast and Mountain West. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases at $14.30–$13.75 per case historical pricing) and tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases) in February and March 2026, with bids due February 9, 2026, and March 9, 2026, respectively, applying a five percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables including canned goods across 23 qualified ordering entities statewide under IFB HHS0016792, with a bid deadline of February 23, 2026, and maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years. School districts in Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) issued comprehensive food-supply ITBs and RFPs in March and April 2026 with bid deadlines ranging from April 23 to April 29, 2026, covering hundreds of line items including canned vegetables, with contracts typically valued in the range of $1.5 million to $9 million annually depending on student enrollment and meal-service scope. The Illinois Veterans Home solicited weekly food orders for the March–June 2026 quarter through an RFQ with a February 24, 2026, deadline. Canned vegetables appear consistently as minor line items within larger food-service contracts rather than as primary procurement focus; vendors competing in this space typically source them as part of full-line food-distribution capabilities serving multiple school sites or state facilities.
