UNSPSC 50461831: Canned or jarred jacob's cattle beans

The variety of beans known as jacob's cattle beans that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461831 Canned or jarred jacob's cattle beans, a Commodity code, covers canned and jarred legume products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—specifically for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services institutions, and veterans' homes. Recent solicitations show this code sits within a broader institutional food procurement environment where state and local agencies source dozens to hundreds of line items across multiple food categories in single buys, with canned beans and legumes appearing as component items in those broader food baskets rather than as standalone procurements.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies: three Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and Muscogee County School System), the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services, the State of Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Douglas County School System via the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across Georgia. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center and statewide facilities (proposals due July 13, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement HHS0016792 covering 210 line items including canned goods for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (bid response deadline February 23, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products across multiple categories (bids due June 15, 2026). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued solicitations for canned tomatoes (ITB S2910000016405, bids due March 9, 2026) and tomato paste (ITB S2910000016089, bids due March 9, 2026), suggesting state corrections systems actively procure canned produce items. Most school district procurements operate under Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content, HACCP compliance, and nutritional specifications tied to USDA Child Nutrition meal patterns. Contract values for broader food service buys range from $1.5 million (Texas HHSC El Paso facility historical period) to $9 million (Douglas County School System food supply), with school-level produce and specialty item procurements typically in the low-to-mid six figures.
