UNSPSC 50401808: Black shackamaxon beans

The variety of beans known as black shackamaxon beans

UNSPSC 50401808 Black shackamaxon beans (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned to the code's specific scope. State and local procurement under this code focuses on institutional food service for schools, senior services, and correctional facilities, though the black shackamaxon bean as a discrete product line does not appear in any of the recent solicitations. Instead, issuing bodies across school districts, county boards of education, state departments, and senior services divisions are procuring fresh produce broadly—including apples, carrots, potatoes, leafy greens, berries, and other fresh fruits and vegetables—but no recent opportunity explicitly names black shackamaxon beans or specialty dry bean varieties as a line item. The mix of issuing bodies is diverse: school nutrition programs dominate the recent activity (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Bartow County Schools and Dougherty County Schools in Georgia, Bryan County Schools in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, Northside Independent School District and Austin Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), with additional procurement from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for institutional food service, Head Start of Greater Dallas for child care, and the City of San Antonio's senior services division.

The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Wisconsin, Missouri, Connecticut, and other states. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for fresh produce and potatoes (IFB IW253121 for sweet potatoes and IFB IW253099 for white potatoes, both due June 23, 2026), and Georgia school districts dominate the dataset with local produce preferences (Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 due June 22, 2026; Dougherty County Board of Education IFB due June 16, 2026; Bryan County Schools sealed bid due May 27, 2026; Bulloch County Schools IFP due May 4, 2026). Northside Independent School District in San Antonio solicited fresh produce under RFP 2026-048 with response due May 7, 2026, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa issued RFP 26039RFPDST for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with proposals due March 11, 2026. No recent solicitation identified in the dataset explicitly specifies black shackamaxon beans or addresses specialty legume procurement at the commodity level, indicating the code reflects a narrow product category with limited current state and local demand visibility.
