UNSPSC 50461837: Canned or jarred mat beans

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

UNSPSC 50461837 Canned or jarred mat beans is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable legume products sourced primarily by institutional food-service operations — state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, and state hospitals. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring canned beans alongside broader consumable-food portfolios that include proteins, vegetables, condiments, and food-service supplies. Issuing bodies span Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities (state-supported living centers and hospitals), Georgia county boards (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), Georgia public school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These are chiefly state departments, county administrative agencies, and school nutrition programs rather than individual municipalities, with repeat solicitation activity from Texas HHS and Georgia school districts visible in the recent record.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent postings. Representative current opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), which solicits 22 line items of prepared and shelf-stable foods with delivery within seven days of order; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (due October 19, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000017145 bid for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) — a closely related commodity showing active procurement of canned vegetables at similar scale. School nutrition contracts are multi-line-item food bids (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, Burke County Public Schools PE55037NONST2027000000007) that typically include canned beans and vegetables as subordinate line items within larger comprehensive food procurement. Vendor qualification requirements across these solicitations emphasize references, years-in-business documentation, compliance with federal food-safety standards, liability insurance, and HACCP plan certification; delivery terms are consistently F.O.B.
