UNSPSC 50461827: Canned or jarred haricot beans

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

UNSPSC 50461827 Canned or jarred haricot beans, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of shelf-stable bean products in bulk for institutional food service operations, including school nutrition programs, state facilities, and correctional institutions. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing canned and jarred beans alongside broader food procurement efforts rather than as standalone line items; the code sits within larger RFPs and IFBs that aggregate canned goods, proteins, vegetables, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools and Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veteran facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). School districts represent the dominant buyer category in recent activity, driven by Child Nutrition Services procurement cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school district procurements in 2026), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ statewide efforts), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (state veteran facility), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for supplemental food and consumable products for state-supported living centers (proposals due July 13, 2026), which encompasses canned goods and related items under NIGP Class numbers 385, 390, 380, and 393 with a historical spending reference of $1.5 million for the prior fiscal year; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products procurement (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended response date May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items including canned and fresh vegetables destined for multiple TDCJ warehouse locations; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery procurements (two separate electronics bids due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 and approximately 200 line items respectively for the 2026-27 school year. Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for over 400 food items (due April 29, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia procured nearly 400 line items (due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM), both enforcing strict Buy American requirements and USDA compliance. School nutrition procurement is concentrated in recurring annual or multi-year cycles tied to academic calendar quarters (July through June performance periods), with firm fixed pricing during initial contract terms and midterm adjustments permitted only when manufacturers raise prices by 5 percent or greater with supporting documentation.
