UNSPSC 50401801: Anasazi or aztec beans

The variety of beans known as anasazi or aztec beans

UNSPSC 50401801 Anasazi or aztec beans, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product category within state and local food procurement. In practice, this code captures fresh and dried bean products for institutional food service operations — particularly cafeteria and dining facility supply. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure beans as ingredients or meal components for correctional facilities, mental health centers, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The code sees activity from state health and human services commissions, departments of criminal justice, school districts, and county boards of education, with Texas and Georgia representing the primary recent jurisdictions. Issuing bodies typically seek beans as part of broader food staples or produce bundles rather than as standalone line items; the code rarely appears as a primary focus of individual solicitations.

Recent opportunities demonstrate that beans are solicited through food service grocery and fresh-produce procurement vehicles across multiple institution types. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017799 for food service groceries to Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due August 25, 2026), encompassing prepared foods, frozen vegetables, and condiments across multiple NIGP commodity codes including produce and staples. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411) through September and October 2026, with responses due to the TDCJ Procurement Portal; while beans are not explicitly named in these summaries, procurement patterns across TDCJ food service operations routinely include legumes as protein and carbohydrate staples. School nutrition programs in Georgia — including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County — have solicited fresh produce and food products through May and June 2026 with bean varieties typically embedded in broader vegetable and staple line-item rosters. The Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health similarly procure fresh produce and food service items for institutional dining. Most recent solicitations bundle this commodity within larger food contracts rather than isolating Anasazi or aztec beans as a distinct procurement line.
