UNSPSC 50401800: Beans

The type of vegetable known as beans

UNSPSC 50401800 Beans, a Class code, does not appear in the recent state and local procurement activity provided in the source material. The opportunities posted under this code identifier instead span fresh produce, prepared and frozen foods, food service supplies, and cafeteria staples across institutional food service operations — none of which align with beans as a commodity line item. The source shows active procurement for fresh fruits and vegetables, produce-box distribution, school nutrition programs, correctional facility food service, state-supported living centers, and child care food programs, but no solicitations specifically for beans or legume products.

The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement across the source include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county school systems (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District), county governments (Collier County), municipal departments (San Antonio Department of Human Services), and specialized agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Opportunities cluster heavily in Texas and Georgia, with scattered activity in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple RFPs for fresh fruits and vegetables to warehouse locations (due October 14–19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB for fresh produce at Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside), Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce across 24 nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA program (due July 29, 2026, with Wisconsin sourcing and diversity-preference criteria). The code shows a mismatch with actual procurement activity; pursue only if your firm intends to expand into general produce supply rather than beans specifically.
