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 is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable canned vegetables that state and local institutions procure as part of broader food service and nutrition programs. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily state agencies operating residential or correctional facilities, county and municipal food service operations, and school districts running nutrition programs. The work solicited includes canned vegetables as line items within larger food procurement contracts for institutional cafeterias, food banks, and canteen operations. These contracts typically specify USDA grading standards, sodium content limits, shelf-life minimums, and compliance with FDA and USDA food safety regulations. Delivery terms are FOB Destination with freight prepaid, and vendors must meet strict compliance requirements including product specifications, timely delivery windows (commonly seven days from order), insurance thresholds, debarment certifications, and E-Verify compliance where contract values exceed state thresholds.

Recent activity shows Texas Health and Human Services Commission and state corrections departments as significant repeat buyers. The Texas HHS Commission has posted at least three recent procurements for food and consumables serving state supported living centers and state hospitals statewide—IFB HHS0016792V2 (supplemental food and consumables, due March 19, 2026, $4.5 million maximum value over three years), IFB HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026), and IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026)—each encompassing dozens of canned vegetable line items alongside proteins, dairy, and supplies. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (June 19, 2026), while school districts in Georgia (Burke County Public Schools, Ben Hill County Schools) and Georgia county systems (Gwinnett County) have posted food procurement bids with canned vegetable components. Texas activity dominates the recent opportunities block, with secondary activity in Georgia and Oregon. Vendors should note that Texas HHS and corrections procurements often require online bid submission through agency portals (HHS Online Bid Room, OREGONBUYS), references from similar contracts, and detailed company qualifications; school districts typically require Buy American Act compliance and HACCP certification.
