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 shelf-stable legume products for institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity concentrated in broader canned-vegetable and shelf-stable food categories rather than runner beans exclusively. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers, county boards of commissioners purchasing for senior services and community programs, state correctional departments, and school districts procuring for nutrition programs. Issuing bodies range across multiple tiers — state procurement offices, county purchasing divisions, and independent school districts — with repeat activity from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) divisions serving state-supported living centers and state hospitals. The scope of work spans food service supply for campus and canteen operations, inmate dining, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers, with products required to meet USDA standards and specific nutritional requirements including shelf life, sodium content, and proper labeling.

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 in October 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) seeking consumables for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, with 22 line items of prepared foods and service supplies. HHSC also posted IFB HHS0017449 in June 2026 (bids due July 13, 2026) for food and consumables serving El Paso State Supported Living Center and Department of State Health Services facilities statewide, with a historical value of $1.5 million for the prior contract year. The Oregon Department of Corrections Purchasing Division solicited 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, bids due June 19, 2026) with a previous purchase price of $13.75 per case and Oregon-fabricated or resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued IWQ 140229 in October 2026 (quotes due October 19, 2026) requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including canned vegetables for senior services. School districts in Georgia, including Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools, are actively procuring comprehensive food bids with hundreds of line items spanning canned vegetables and other categories for 2026-2027 nutrition programs. These procurements typically award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders, require FOB Destination delivery within 7 to 72 hours of order, and mandate compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, E-Verify, and commercial general liability insurance.
