UNSPSC 50461829: Canned or jarred italian type beans

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

UNSPSC 50461829 Canned or jarred Italian type beans — a Commodity code — names a narrow product category that state and local governments purchase as part of broader food-service procurements for schools, correctional facilities, hospitals, and other institutional settings. The code does not appear in isolation; instead, canned beans surface as individual line items within larger food-supply RFPs and IFBs that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers treating canned goods—including beans—as fungible commodities within comprehensive meal-service contracts rather than as standalone solicitations.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food contracts under this commodity code include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and specialized public institutions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts dominate the recent activity, driven by Child Nutrition Services procurement cycles tied to academic-year funding and meal-plan cycles. Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Missouri, and Virginia show the most recent solicitation activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 11, 2026, which encompasses canned goods within a broader food procurement tied to facility meal service; the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation for the 2026-27 school year, due April 29, 2026, spanning over 900 line items across multiple categories including canned fruits and vegetables; and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products, due June 15, 2026, covering fresh and frozen produce, meat, dairy, and canned items across four school locations. These procurements require firm pricing, delivery compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American Act compliance where applicable, and minimum insurance coverage, with awards typically made on a lowest-responsive-bid basis or to multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
