UNSPSC 50461836: Canned or jarred marrow beans

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

UNSPSC 50461836 Canned or jarred marrow beans, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable legume products that state and local governments procure primarily for school food service, institutional dining, and state facility meal programs. State and local agencies buy canned and jarred beans as components of broader food-service contracts—typically bundled with dozens or hundreds of other grocery items rather than as standalone line items—to support child nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, and state health and human services operations. Recent solicitations show the code embedded in much larger food-procurement efforts rather than surfacing as a discrete product category. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with individual districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, and Texas posting annual food bids spanning hundreds of line items, followed by state correctional and health-agency contracts covering multiple facilities statewide. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Illinois Veterans Home appear repeatedly across the recent-opportunity block as volume buyers of institutional food products.

Canned beans activity concentrates in the South and Midwest, with Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Burke County Public Schools) posting the highest frequency of recent solicitations. Texas HHS and TDCJ procurements, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, and the Oregon Department of Corrections round out the geographic spread. Representative recent opportunities include Ben Hill County Schools' FY-27 quarterly food order (IFB, due June 15, 2026) spanning produce, proteins, dairy, and canned goods; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items including canned goods; and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) requiring delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens. All solicitations specify USDA compliance, Buy American Act adherence where applicable, and firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods, with most allowing midterm or renewal-period adjustments tied to published commodity indices or manufacturer price lists.
