UNSPSC 50461846: Canned or jarred runner beans

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

UNSPSC 50461846 Canned or jarred runner beans is a Commodity code that encompasses canned and jarred legume products state and local governments buy for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, healthcare institutions, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show this code sits within a broader procurement family covering canned vegetables and legumes used in high-volume food service environments where purchasing patterns reflect demand for shelf-stable protein sources and commodity products compliant with USDA nutrition standards and federal Buy American requirements. State and local issuing bodies pursuing canned legume procurements include independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state supported living centers and hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections, and State of Illinois Veterans Home), and county school systems. School districts represent the dominant buyer segment, typically soliciting canned and jarred vegetables as part of comprehensive annual or quarterly food service contracts with dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, produce, and prepared foods.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central regions, with Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County, Liberty County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, and Muscogee County) representing the most frequent recent purchasers, followed by Texas state agencies and Oregon's correctional system. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, under firm fixed-unit-rate pricing with a prior-period value of $1.5 million), the Ben Hill County Schools food bid PE61000NONST2027000000006 (due June 15, 2026, seeking products across multiple categories under the Buy American Act), and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services grocery items procurement due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items for the 2026-27 school year. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple canned-vegetable procurements including tomato products (S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, and S2910000015837 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due February 9, 2026), both with Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preferences. School districts typically conduct annual competitive solicitations with response windows of two to four weeks, firm fixed pricing for the contract period, and line-item or single-vendor award authority, while state agencies increasingly use IFB structures with price-adjustment language tied to USDA indices or Consumer Price Index formulas for multi-year terms.
