UNSPSC 50471813: Canned or jarred organic calypso beans

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

UNSPSC 50471813 Canned or jarred organic calypso beans is a Commodity code covering specialty canned and jarred legume products that state and local governments purchase primarily for institutional food service operations—school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and veterans homes. The code sees consistent but modest activity, with recent opportunities showing demand for canned beans as part of broader food procurement bundles rather than as standalone line items. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and veterans facilities; school districts dominate the recent activity, reflecting the scale of K-12 meal service operations. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois based on recent solicitation volume, though the code shows sporadic activity across multiple states.

Recent opportunities rarely isolate organic calypso beans as a distinct procurement line. Instead, the code appears as a sub-item within broader canned-goods categories embedded in larger food-service RFPs and IFBs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 (due July 11, 2026) for food and consumable products serving state supported living centers and state health services facilities statewide, with historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period and pricing based on firm, fixed unit rates; the same agency issued a second opportunity, HHS0016792V2 (bid deadline March 19, 2026), for supplemental food and consumables spanning 210 line items across state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited canned tomatoes (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026) as discrete procurements, each requesting several truckloads at firm per-case pricing delivered FOB Destination. School districts including Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), Rockwood R-VI in Missouri (grocery items due April 29, 2026), and Liberty County and Muscogee County in Georgia issued comprehensive food procurements spanning hundreds of line items covering fresh, frozen, canned, and specialty products under Buy American constraints, with contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30 and renewal options of up to three or four years at the school district's discretion. These school-district procurements emphasize whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, Child Nutrition compliance, HACCP plans, and pricing tied to third-party market indices where permitted. Activity is steady but fragmented—no single issuing body appears as a repeat buyer of this specific commodity across multiple recent opportunities, and participation remains open to qualified vendors with standard insurance, food-safety, and debarment certifications.
