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 is a Commodity code that sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local government; recent opportunities show that this specific product line appears infrequently in posted solicitations. The few state and local agencies buying under this code procure canned goods as part of broader food-service operations—particularly institutional food supply contracts for correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs. When canned legumes and specialty items appear in these solicitations, they are typically embedded within larger food procurement categories rather than solicited as standalone line items. The mix of issuing bodies includes state corrections departments, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and county school systems, with activity concentrated in states with significant institutional food-service demand.

Recent solicitations framing the actual buying activity show that canned beans and similar shelf-stable proteins are sought as components of comprehensive food-supply contracts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) solicits food and consumable products for state supported living centers under NIGP commodity classes that encompass canned goods; the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016089 ITB (due March 9, 2026) procured tomato paste as a representative canned product for institutional food service; and school district RFPs from Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, and Rockwood R-VI School District (posted May–June 2026) all include canned vegetables, fruits, and beans within their comprehensive grocery line items. Geographic activity spans Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Georgia, and Illinois. The commodity code itself does not command standalone procurement volume; rather, tonka beans and similar canned legumes appear opportunistically within larger food-service aggregations where purchasing offices seek multiple vendors or single comprehensive suppliers across dozens or hundreds of line items. Pursuit depends on whether your firm carries this specific product in a food-service distribution portfolio positioned to bid school lunch, correctional facility, or state institutional food contracts.
