UNSPSC 50461849: Canned or jarred tonka beans

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

UNSPSC 50461849 Canned or jarred tonka beans, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct activity in recent state and local procurement, though the code sits within a broader market for shelf-stable food procurement that state institutions, school districts, and county governments are actively soliciting. State and local buyers under this family use the code to tag institutional food service contracts covering prepared and specialty food items, canned proteins, fresh and frozen produce, condiments, and food service supplies for prisons, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school cafeterias, and senior nutrition programs. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and human services agencies (particularly Texas HHSC), state departments of corrections, county school districts, county boards of commissioners, and county senior services programs. Texas agencies are the dominant repeat buyers, with multiple 2026 solicitations from HHSC for state supported living centers and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0018082 on October 16, 2026 (bids due October 23, 2026) for consumable foods including canned and prepared items for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center; IFB HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026) for similar consumables and food service supplies; and IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumables for El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T26300CF on May 4, 2026 (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2 to May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across TDCJ warehouse locations. Georgia activity includes Burke County Public Schools (bids due June 5, 2026) and Ben Hill County Schools (bids due June 15, 2026) soliciting comprehensive food and nutrition procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an IFB for canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) for approximately 7,616 cases with Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent. Tonka beans as a specific item do not appear in the representative opportunities named above; the code shows little recent activity tied directly to this commodity, though it may be tagged at procurement offices as a catchall within institutional food service categories that include diverse canned and jarred specialty items.
