UNSPSC 50471850: Canned or jarred organic wax beans

The variety of organic beans known as organic wax beans that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50471850 Canned or jarred organic wax beans is a Commodity code covering packaged preserved vegetable products sourced by state and local food service operations, particularly school districts and institutional facilities. State and local governments procure canned and jarred vegetables—including tomatoes, wax beans, and other shelf-stable produce—as part of broader food supply contracts for cafeterias, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies bundling canned vegetables within large multi-category food bids rather than issuing line-item buys for single preserved vegetables, though Oregon's Department of Corrections and Texas's Health and Human Services Commission regularly solicit specific canned-goods items as component line items within broader institutional food procurement.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, particularly large systems such as Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Douglas County and Burke County school systems (Georgia), and Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham County systems (Georgia), alongside state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission serving state hospitals and supported living centers, the Oregon Department of Corrections, and the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. The geographic spread is national, with recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's HHS0017449 IFB for food and consumables at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) covering multiple preserved-food line items within a $1.5 million annual historical spend; the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000016405 ITB for canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026) seeking 7,616 cases delivered to the Central Distribution Center in Salem; and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) for school nutrition food products including canned fruits and vegetables across four schools under Buy American requirements. Pricing in recent ODOC solicitations referenced historical unit costs between $13.75 and $27.75 per case, and school district food bids typically require firm, fixed pricing for twelve-month terms with allowance for midterm adjustments tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks.
