UNSPSC 50461845: Canned or jarred pole beans

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

UNSPSC 50461845 Canned or jarred pole beans, a Commodity code, covers canned and jarred legume products that state and local institutions procure for food service operations, typically in bulk quantities for cafeteria and institutional kitchens. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing canned beans and other preserved vegetables as components of broader food supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The code sees activity across multiple issuing-body types: school nutrition programs (including independent school districts and county school systems), state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recurring solicitations from Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia. Correctional and health services agencies also appear regularly, including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission (procuring for state hospitals and state supported living centers), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia, with Georgia school districts representing the heaviest concentration of recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and an initial one-year term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016089 (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) for approximately 1,904 cases of tomato paste; and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 15, 2026) for food products across multiple categories with delivery to four school locations. Canned vegetables appear as line items within larger food supply contracts rather than as stand-alone procurements, and institutional buyers typically issue annual or multi-year contracts with firm fixed pricing for initial periods and provisions for price adjustments tied to USDA price indices or consumer price reports. Most school district food service contracts run July 1 through June 30 and include renewal or extension options spanning three to five years total. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations reviewed.
