UNSPSC 50471821: Canned or jarred organic french horticultural beans

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

UNSPSC 50471821 Canned or jarred organic french horticultural beans is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred bean products sourced or supplied to state and local food service operations. Recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments purchasing these items primarily as part of larger consumables and food supply contracts for institutional food service — specifically for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services operations. The code does not appear as a standalone line item in recent opportunities; instead, canned beans feature as one product among dozens in comprehensive food and consumable RFPs and IFBs. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (notably Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state correctional and detention systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). The scope of work under this code involves supplying USDA-compliant shelf-stable canned vegetables — including beans in various preparations — to institutional food service providers with delivery on FOB Destination terms, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with federal nutrition standards and food safety regulations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with Texas representing the densest cluster of recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, response deadline March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years); the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for canned tomatoes (7,616 cases, response deadline June 19, 2026, prior purchase at $13.75 per case); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (response deadline October 19, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition products under the Buy American Act (response deadline June 15, 2026). Most recent awards favor lowest responsive and responsible bidders; several contracts require samples, product identification documentation, and proof of specification conformance within 24 to 96 hours of request. Vendors typically must provide three verifiable references for similar contracts, comply with E-Verify requirements, maintain liability insurance minimums of $500,000 per occurrence, and deliver within 7 to 30 days of order receipt.
