UNSPSC 50461833: Canned or jarred kidney beans

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

UNSPSC 50461833 Canned or jarred kidney beans is a Commodity code covering legume products that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service and nutrition programs. The code sees active solicitation among school districts and state health and human services agencies purchasing food for institutional cafeterias, correctional facilities, and congregate care settings. Work under the code typically appears embedded within larger RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive food supply contracts rather than as standalone kidney-bean-specific procurements; recent opportunities name canned and jarred legumes alongside produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies in multi-category food buys. School districts represent the dominant issuing body, with additional activity from state corrections departments, state supported living centers, and state veterans homes. The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs in those states driving recurring annual demand cycles tied to fiscal-year budgets and contract terms running July-to-June or September-to-August.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), which encompasses canned goods under NIGP categories as part of a $1.5 million prior-period spend; the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 for school nutrition food products (bids due June 15, 2026), covering canned fruits and vegetables among hundreds of line items across multiple food categories; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery solicitations (both posted March 31, 2026, bids due April 29, 2026) specifying over 200 line items including canned goods for the 2026-27 school year. Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in Area One. Pricing in these procurements is typically firm and fixed for the initial contract period, with adjustments permitted only at renewal tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service indices or Consumer Price Index formulas, and awards generally flow to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting specifications and delivery requirements without specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises noted in the recent block.
