UNSPSC 50461835: Canned or jarred madeira/madera beans

The variety of beans known as madeira/madera beans that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461835 Canned or jarred madeira/madera beans (Commodity) represents a narrow product category within food procurement that state and local governments buy primarily as components of larger grocery and food service contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent solicitations show this code tagged to broad food-supply procurements where canned beans appear alongside dozens or hundreds of other staple items—proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods—rather than as dedicated single-commodity bids. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include school districts (nutrition programs across multiple schools), state health and human services agencies (supporting institutional facilities such as correctional centers and state supported living centers), and state veterans homes. The work is sourced through IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with firm fixed pricing, typically as part of annual or multi-year food service contracts covering July-through-June fiscal periods.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and upper Midwest. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple food and consumable procurements (including HHS0017449 in June 2026 and HHS0016792 variants in February and March 2026) covering 210+ line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms. Oregon Department of Corrections has issued canned-tomato-specific ITBs (S2910000016089 and S2910000015837, both closed by early March 2026) with volumes of 1,904 to 7,616 cases and historical pricing around $14.30 to $27.75 per case, though these target tomatoes rather than beans. Georgia and Illinois school districts and the State of Illinois Veterans Home have solicited food orders under quarterly or annual schedules (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, Burke County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12, and Illinois IVHQ weekly food orders). Canned beans do not appear as a standalone commodity in any recent opportunity; instead, they surface as one of dozens of line items in broad institutional food procurements where vendors bid on complete product ranges and purchase patterns reflect actual facility meal-planning needs rather than commodity-specific demand.
