UNSPSC 50401811: Bolita beans

The variety of beans known as bolita beans

UNSPSC 50401811 Bolita beans is a Commodity code, but state and local governments are not soliciting specifically for bolita beans under this code. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, child care agencies, and correctional institutions. The work being solicited includes supply and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables—apples, bananas, carrots, berries, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and dozens of other commodity items—in volumes ranging from weekly servings for elementary students to bulk annual supplies for institutional food service. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Northside Independent, Austin Independent, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County), county school boards (Bryan County, Bulloch County, Muscogee County, Douglas County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Glynn County), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), Head Start programs, and the City of San Antonio's senior services division. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears repeatedly, soliciting produce for institutional canning and bulk food service operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with particular concentration in Georgia and Texas.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, where the recent opportunities block shows the heaviest concentration. Georgia school districts—Bartow County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Early County, Glynn County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Henry County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham County—account for roughly half the posted opportunities. Texas procurement includes Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034, fresh produce and beverages, March 11, 2026 deadline), Northside Independent School District (RFP 2026-048, fresh produce, May 7, 2026 deadline), McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029, fresh produce, March 6, 2026 deadline), and multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice invitations for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for institutional food operations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a wide-ranging cafeteria food products solicitation (IFB 304T-26-300CF, May 4, 2026 extended deadline) covering proteins, dairy, grains, and fresh and canned vegetables across five geographic warehouse areas. Outside the two-state core, activity appears in Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, RFP 026-41, February 25, 2026 deadline for groceries and produce), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District, April 29, 2026 deadline for grocery items), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools, March 11, 2026 deadline for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program). The code shows no recent activity in states not represented in the opportunities block.
