UNSPSC 50471836: Canned or jarred organic marrow beans

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

UNSPSC 50471836 Canned or jarred organic marrow beans, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. State and local governments procure canned beans and similar shelf-stable proteins as components of broader food service contracts for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services institutions. Recent solicitations show this code embedded within much larger food supply aggregations—school nutrition programs, state hospitals, and corrections departments issue competitive bids for hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, and dry goods, where canned beans typically appear as one of many commodity categories rather than as standalone procurement opportunities. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school systems), state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies serving institutional populations. School nutrition programs dominate this activity, with districts in Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Illinois, and Oregon all procuring food baskets that include canned and jarred items alongside fresh and frozen goods.

Recent solicitations show little standalone demand for organic marrow beans specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for canned tomatoes and tomato paste in early 2026, but no isolated bids for canned beans appeared in the recent-opportunities block. Instead, beans appear as line items within larger food service aggregations—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's $4.5 million supplemental food procurement (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' food bid (due June 15, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026) all encompass canned vegetables and proteins, though the specific product composition is not disclosed in summary form. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia dominate the issuing-body mix, with state-level HHS and corrections departments in Texas and Oregon as secondary buyers. The code shows most activity in the Southeast and Midwest—Georgia (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County school systems) and Missouri (Rockwood School District) posted multiple solicitations in the February-June 2026 window, while Oregon corrections and Texas HHS appeared less frequently. No recent opportunities specifically named organic marrow beans as a distinct line item, suggesting the commodity operates as part of bundled food service procurement rather than as a standalone buying category at the state or local level.
