UNSPSC 50401805: Black appaloosa beans

The variety of beans known as black appaloosa beans

UNSPSC 50401805 Black appaloosa beans, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within the broader fresh produce and dried goods procurement activity of state and local institutions. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show little demand for black appaloosa beans specifically; instead, they reflect state and local purchasing across fresh produce, prepared foods, and food service supplies for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and mental health facilities. The actual work solicited under related produce and food codes involves bidding on bulk fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods with firm, fixed pricing; compliance with USDA quality and grading standards; temperature-controlled delivery to multiple locations; and adherence to food safety, prevailing wage, and state procurement regulations.

State agencies, particularly the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice, dominate recent activity, supported by school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Early County, Bryan County, Bartow County, and Dougherty County in Georgia), county governments (Collier County, Florida), city departments (San Antonio, Texas), and specialized facilities (Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health). Texas shows the heaviest concentration of recent solicitations, followed by Georgia and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), soliciting 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies on an IFB basis; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple fresh produce and potato solicitations (IW267376, IW267420, IW267411, IW253099, IW253121) for warehouse and facility delivery with responses due in October and June 2026; and the Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for fresh produce across 40 line items due June 16, 2026. None of the recent opportunities explicitly target black appaloosa beans as a named commodity, suggesting minimal current demand for this specific product at state and local level.
