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 shelf-stable legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service operations — correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school cafeterias, senior services programs, and public hospitals. Recent solicitations show governments buying canned kidney beans as one item within much larger food-supply contracts, typically specifying USDA Grade B or better, minimum shelf life (often 12 months), sodium content limits, and delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order placement on FOB Destination terms. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois, Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and state-supported living centers. The code sees steady activity across multiple jurisdictions but appears to be bid only as one line item within comprehensive food-service procurements rather than as a standalone commodity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food consumables serving state-supported living centers and hospitals, including HHS0017449 (El Paso State Supported Living Center, IFB due July 13, 2026) and HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center, IFB due October 23, 2026), with historical contract values in the $1.5 million to $4.5 million range for multi-item procurements. The Oregon Department of Corrections requested bids for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) at approximately $13.75 per case from the prior purchase, establishing price benchmarks for similar canned goods. Georgia school districts including Ben Hill County Schools (IFB due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (bids due June 5, 2026) are procuring hundreds of food line items under Child Nutrition and Buy American requirements. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center and questions due October 14, 2026. Vendors responding to these codes must meet robust compliance requirements including E-Verify certification, debarment verification, HACCP food-safety plans, complaint resolution timelines (typically 90 days), and liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
