UNSPSC 50401807: Black gram beans

The variety of beans known as black gram beans

UNSPSC 50401807 Black gram beans is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The source identifies 24 recent opportunities across school districts, county and state food service programs, and transit/institutional providers, but none of them explicitly solicit black gram beans. Instead, recent state and local buyers are purchasing fresh produce broadly—apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, and other common fresh fruits and vegetables—through school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional institutions. Two opportunities tangentially touch legumes: the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP lists "frozen foods, produce, and meat products" generically, and the Rockwood School District RFP encompasses "over 900 line items" of grocery goods including vegetables, but neither specifies dried beans or pulses like black grams. The USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program dominates the recent solicitation landscape, with school districts in Wisconsin, Georgia, Texas, and Florida posting RFPs for ready-to-eat produce snacks, fresh-cut vegetables, and whole fruits—categories that do not typically extend to specialty legumes.

State and local procurement under this code shows activity primarily from school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, Northside ISD in San Antonio, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, and Hillsborough County), followed by county food service authorities and institutional providers such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Head Start agencies. Recent geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut, with Texas and Georgia appearing most frequently in the recent opportunities block. Representative recent solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 (fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, bid due July 29, 2026), the Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 (local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, proposal due June 22, 2026), and the Douglas County School System GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 (fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts, proposals due March 4, 2026). The code as currently tagged shows no evidence of actual black gram bean procurement; if your firm supplies specialty pulses or dried legumes, this code appears misaligned with recent procurement activity and should be verified against the issuing body's actual specifications before pursuit.
