UNSPSC 50461841: Canned or jarred mung beans

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

UNSPSC 50461841 Canned or jarred mung beans is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations, though the recent opportunity set shows minimal direct demand for mung beans specifically. The code appears in the procurement taxonomy but represents a narrow product line within expansive food supply contracts that school districts, state corrections and health facilities, and state agencies issue to consolidated distributors. Work solicited under this code and related canned-vegetable categories encompasses weekly and annual food orders for institutional foodservice—school cafeterias, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes—where mung beans and similar shelf-stable legumes appear as line items within catalogs of 200 to 900+ products bundled into master grocery or food-supply agreements. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with districts awarding annual fixed-price food contracts that include produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and canned goods on a delivered basis. State agencies procure supplemental and staple food products for corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), health and human services (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and veterans facilities (Illinois Veterans Home) under similar frameworks.

Geographic concentration appears in the South—Georgia (school districts in Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, and Burke County) and Texas (HHSC state facilities, TDCJ corrections)—with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon corrections), Illinois (state veterans home), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products across NIGP classes 385, 390, 380, and 393 to supply an El Paso state-supported living center with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Liberty County Board of Education IFB (posted March 30, 2026, due April 29, 2026) for over 400 food items across 13 school delivery points with Buy American and nutritional compliance mandates; and Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive food, dairy, produce, and kitchen-supply categories across four schools. Canned vegetables including mung beans typically occupy single-digit line items within these multi-hundred-item procurements and are evaluated on lowest responsive bid within broader food-supply awards made on best-value or line-item basis.
