UNSPSC 50471817: Canned or jarred organic dragon tongue beans

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

UNSPSC 50471817 Canned or jarred organic dragon tongue beans is a Commodity code used by state and local government to classify shelf-stable legume products, though recent solicitation activity shows the code applied to broad food service procurement across multiple product categories rather than organic specialty beans specifically. State and local bodies are purchasing canned and jarred vegetables, proteins, and prepared foods through institutional food-service IFBs and IWQs. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state corrections systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The scope of actual procurement under this code encompasses shelf-stable food products for institutional cafeterias, canteens, state-supported living centers, schools, and correctional facilities, with representative recent opportunities including Texas HHS purchasing consumable foods for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0018082 (due October 23, 2026), Gwinnett County requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products under IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Oregon and Illinois. Texas Health and Human Services has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables, including HHS0017872 (August 2026) and HHS0017449 (June 2026), the latter valued at $1.5 million for the prior fiscal period and covering the El Paso State Supported Living Center with renewal options through 2028. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a canned tomatoes bid for 7,616 cases (June 2026) with prior pricing at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest. Georgia school districts—Ben Hill County Schools (June 2026 food bid) and Burke County Public Schools (May 2026, nearly 400 line items across five schools)—and Gwinnett County are recurring buyers. All recent solicitations emphasize F.O.B. Destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, minimum reference requirements, and firm fixed pricing with limited escalation provisions. Buy American Act requirements appear in school district bids, and Texas state health procurements include price-adjustment caps and vendor performance tracking through the CPA Vendor Performance Tracking System.
