UNSPSC 50481937: Mat bean purees

The variety of beans known as mat beans which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50481937 Mat bean purees, a Commodity code, describes bean puree products sourced and consumed in state and local institutional food service operations, particularly within corrections facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and veterans' homes. While the code's nominal scope is narrow, state and local solicitations under this category span broad food procurement that includes mat bean purees as line items within larger grocery, produce, and food-service supply contracts. The recent opportunities block reflects minimal direct activity under this specific code; instead, it shows substantial activity in adjacent commodity codes for canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food-service supply contracts that anchor institutional meal programs. School districts, state corrections agencies, state health and human services commissions, and county school systems dominate the issuing-body mix, with standout repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia school districts (particularly Douglas County Schools and Burke County Public Schools), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Geographic spread concentrates heavily in Texas, Oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with the largest contracts centered on sprawling school district networks and state institutional facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables procurement (IFB HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomato bid (S2910000017145, response due June 19, 2026) for 7,616 cases with a historical price of $13.75 per case; Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid (IFB #26271, response due June 15, 2026) spanning multiple categories including fresh and frozen produce, proteins, and dairy across four school locations; and Fairfax County Public Schools' master grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026) delivering to 52 school sites and a central warehouse. Contract values range from under $50,000 for single-commodity buys to $9 million annually for comprehensive food supply and distribution, with most school and institutional contracts running July-through-June fiscal-year cycles and permitting renewal for multiple additional one-year terms.
