UNSPSC 50461848: Canned or jarred tamarind beans

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

UNSPSC 50461848 Canned or jarred tamarind beans, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers preserved tamarind bean products, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for tamarind beans. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code encompass broad food service procurement across school districts, correctional facilities, and state health and human services agencies — canned and frozen vegetables, proteins, dairy, produce, condiments, and prepared foods for institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Burke County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and a state veterans facility (Illinois Veterans Home). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Virginia, and Illinois, with the most recent and largest-value opportunities concentrated in Georgia school districts and Texas state facilities.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a historical annual value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes due June 19, 2026, with an estimated value around $104,000 to $130,000 based on historical pricing of $13.75 per case; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery due April 27, 2026, supporting 45 schools plus distribution kitchens. The code shows activity across IFB, RFP, and RFQ notice types, with response windows typically 30 to 45 days. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (tamarind beans) and the actual procurement (broad institutional food service) suggests either systematic misclassification at the issuing-body level or that tamarind beans are occasionally embedded in larger food baskets; business development teams should monitor whether future opportunities under this code address the specific commodity or continue to reflect institutional food procurement broadly.
