UNSPSC 50471800: Canned or jarred organic beans

The type of organic vegetable known as organic beans that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471800 Canned or jarred organic beans, a Class code, encompasses packaged legume products that state and local procurement offices procure primarily as ingredients or prepared foods for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct engagement—the opportunities block contains no opportunities explicitly solicited under this code.

The most recent state and local contract opportunities in the source material reveal substantial activity in adjacent food-service categories—fresh produce, canned goods more broadly, proteins, dairy, and comprehensive food supply contracts—but none are tagged specifically to UNSPSC 50471800. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Virginia are actively soliciting food products for child nutrition programs and other institutional meal services; state corrections and health and human services agencies are similarly active. The issuing bodies span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Muscogee County School District, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), and county-level operations (Muscogee County, Liberty County, Burke County, Douglas County, and Ben Hill County in Georgia). Recent food procurement vehicles use IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, which accounts for roughly one-third of the visible opportunities, with substantial secondary activity in Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia.

The code shows no recent direct procurement activity, meaning state and local food service buyers are not currently tagging canned or jarred organic beans separately in solicitations. Organic legume products may be embedded in broader food-service RFPs as line items within comprehensive grocery bids—such as those issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, and multiple Georgia school districts—but they are not being solicited as standalone commodity contracts. The absence of dedicated opportunities under this code does not signal procurement dormancy in food service generally; it signals that canned beans, organic or otherwise, are procured as components of larger institutional food packages rather than as category-specific purchases requiring dedicated vendor qualification and pricing.
