UNSPSC 50401814: Cannellini beans

The variety of beans known as cannellini beans

UNSPSC 50401814 Cannellini beans is a Commodity code that describes a specific legume product. State and local governments acquire cannellini beans as part of broader food-service procurement, most commonly through institutional meal programs operated by state health and human services agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show cannellini beans tagged under this code appear primarily in aggregated food-service grocery bids rather than standalone produce or legume line items; the code itself generates minimal dedicated solicitation activity, and when beans appear in RFPs and IFBs, they are typically bundled within larger consumables packages that include prepared foods, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and food-service supplies. The issuing bodies conducting food-service procurement span state health departments (notably the Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County), and regional meal-service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, senior services divisions). Texas agencies—particularly HHSC and TDCJ—represent repeat activity, with HHSC issuing multiple state-supported living center food bids and TDCJ issuing bulk commodity solicitations across prison warehouse locations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. Texas leads with multiple HHSC consumables bids for state-supported living centers in Lufkin and Mexia, TDCJ bulk-produce and cafeteria-food solicitations across five geographic warehouse areas and multiple food distribution points, and Head Start procurement in Dallas. Georgia activity includes school district fresh-produce and meal-service bids from Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County school systems. Illinois corrections and school-district activity is present but lighter. Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center Consumables Foods, 22 line items including prepared foods and food-service supplies, due October 23, 2026), IFB HHS0017799 (Mexia State Supported Living Center FY27 Food Service Groceries spanning NIGP commodity codes 375, 385, 390, 393, 640, and 645, due August 25, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF (TDCJ Cafeteria Food Products across five geographic warehouse areas, approximately 382 line items, extended due date May 4, 2026). No recent opportunities name cannellini beans as a standalone procurement line item or primary commodity focus, suggesting pursuit under this code requires positioning beans as part of larger food-service supply packages to institutional meal programs rather than direct-to-customer produce sales.
