UNSPSC 50461847: Canned or jarred string beans

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

UNSPSC 50461847 Canned or jarred string beans is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned vegetables as components of broader food service operations—typically for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers rather than as standalone procurement targets. Recent solicitations show this code sits within larger food-supply contracts that include dozens or hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods, with canned string beans appearing as one item among many rather than a dedicated procurement focus.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, and multiple Georgia school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, and Douglas County School System) posting relevant opportunities in the past six months. The code shows strong recent activity across the Southeast and Southwest, particularly Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with Illinois and Virginia also active. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois FY-27 IVHQ Quarterly Food Order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026) seeking brand-specific items or equivalents for weekly delivery, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, due July 13, 2026) with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior period. The Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for Tomato Canned (due June 19, 2026) specified approximately 7,616 cases of USDA Grade B or better canned tomatoes meeting strict sodium and shelf-life requirements, with an incumbent reference price of $14.30 per case from August 2025. School nutrition procurements typically embed canned vegetables within broader line-item food bids governed by Buy American requirements, USDA nutritional standards, firm-fixed pricing for initial contract periods, and allowances for cost adjustments tied to federal indices or manufacturer price increases.
