UNSPSC 50471806: Canned or jarred organic black beans

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

UNSPSC 50471806 Canned or jarred organic black beans is a Commodity code that describes preserved legumes in shelf-stable packaging, though recent state and local opportunities show this specific code applies narrowly to broader food-supply solicitations where canned or jarred beans are one line item among hundreds spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods. State and local governments purchase canned beans as part of school nutrition programs, institutional food service (corrections, state hospitals, supported living centers, veterans homes), and general dietary staple procurement. Issuing bodies include school districts, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and state veterans homes across multiple states. The issuing-body mix spans county and municipal school systems (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), and multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 Georgia school districts). School districts and state institutional food service programs are the dominant repeat buyers across the recent-opportunity block.

The geographic spread centers on the Southeast—Georgia and South Carolina particularly active—with substantial activity in Texas (HHSC and TDCJ procurements), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), which encompasses multiple NIGP food classes and carried a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior year; the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response due June 19, 2026, with the prior case price at $13.75); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB 2000004323 for grocery supply across 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined (response due March 4, 2026). Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with limited escalation, and competitive line-item awards are standard; most contracts run July through June aligned to school-year procurement cycles.
