UNSPSC 50471801: Canned or jarred organic anasazi or aztec beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic anasazi or aztec beans that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471801 Canned or jarred organic anasazi or aztec beans is a Commodity code that spans institutional food service procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct solicitation for this specific product and instead reflect broad consumables procurement where canned beans appear as line items within larger food supply contracts. State and local governments solicit canned or jarred beans primarily through purchasing offices within state supported living centers, state correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county social services departments. The work involves supplying shelf-stable canned proteins and vegetables to institutional kitchens and canteens serving residents, inmates, students, and seniors, with vendors typically priced per case and required to meet USDA grade standards, maintain minimum shelf life (often 12 months), comply with sodium limits or nutritional specifications, and deliver F.O.B. Destination within 7 to 30 days of order. Issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state correctional and Department of Criminal Justice operations, school districts, counties, and regional social service authorities. Bid evaluation emphasizes lowest responsive and responsible bidder, though some jurisdictions award on best value; vendors must provide references, liability insurance documentation, E-Verify compliance, and product samples or specification conformance proof when requested.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple recent IFBs for consumables and food products across state supported living centers (Lufkin and El Paso facilities) with responses due in June through October 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF due May 4, 2026. Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods for senior services under IWQ 140229 due October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia issued school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 spanning hundreds of line items across multiple food categories. The Oregon Department of Corrections procured canned tomatoes (7,616 cases) under IFB S2910000017145 due June 19, 2026 with 5 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. The source shows no recent opportunities explicitly limited to organic anasazi or aztec beans; canned beans appear as component items within broader institutional food supply contracts rather than as dedicated commodity buys.
