UNSPSC 50401804: Barlotti beans

The variety of beans known as barlotti beans

UNSPSC 50401804 Barlotti beans (Commodity) names dried legumes, but the recent state and local procurement opportunities tagged under this code reflect a much broader food-service supply market. State and local agencies are actually buying fresh produce, prepared foods, and food-service supplies for institutional dining — specifically, correctional facilities, mental-health and developmental-disability centers, schools, senior centers, and food-service contractors. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicits fresh fruits and vegetables for multiple warehouse and facility locations; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procures canteen and food-service groceries for state supported living centers; and state education agencies and school districts request fresh produce for student meal programs. Issuing bodies span state corrections and human-services departments, county and municipal school systems, county boards of education, special-purpose health coalitions, and independent school districts. Texas appears across multiple recent opportunities, with secondary activity in Georgia and Illinois. Head Start programs and senior-services divisions also participate.

Recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (consumable foods for Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for fresh fruits and vegetables (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all with October 2026 response windows), the Illinois Department of Corrections' RFQ for fresh produce to Joliet Treatment Center (small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026), and the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles and Wisconsin (due July 29, 2026, with Wisconsin diversity-vendor preference). Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025). School districts in Georgia — Bartow County, Dougherty County, Early County, and Bryan County — all solicited fresh produce for the 2026–2027 school year during May and June 2026. The Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB (26-GP) sought grocery products totaling $969,460.94 estimated value with a June 24, 2026 bid opening.
