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 is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned vegetables procured by state institutions, school districts, counties, and specialized state facilities for food service operations. State and local governments buy canned pole beans as part of broad consumables and food-supply contracts serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and community services departments. The work is almost entirely institutional food procurement—issuing bodies contract for dozens or hundreds of line items across multiple food categories, with canned vegetables including pole beans specified alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies. Issuing bodies span Texas state agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Illinois state government, and other state and local nutrition programs. These are the dominant buyers in this space—state departments managing facilities and school districts running nutrition programs account for the vast majority of recent activity.
