UNSPSC 50461843: Canned or jarred nuna beans

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

UNSPSC 50461843 Canned or jarred nuna beans is a Commodity code that encompasses institutional procurement of shelf-stable legume products for state facilities and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying canned and jarred beans—along with broader consumable food categories—for inmate feeding, state hospital and supported living center operations, school lunch programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and state comptroller procurement offices acting on behalf of correctional agencies. Work solicited under this code typically involves supplying large-volume institutional food services where canned beans and related shelf-stable proteins are packaged items within comprehensive food-supply contracts rather than standalone commodity purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for consumable food products serving state supported living centers and state hospitals, with contract values reaching up to $4.5 million over three years; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Comptroller of Public Accounts) solicited cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse areas. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins for senior services delivery due October 19, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a bid for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders receiving a 5 percent preference. Burke County Public Schools in Georgia and Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia each solicited comprehensive school nutrition food bids spanning nearly 400 line items with firm pricing periods and price-adjustment mechanisms tied to third-party market indices. Most procurements require FOB Destination delivery, three references, insurance certifications, and compliance with federal food standards and state-level E-Verify or debarment requirements.
