UNSPSC 50401816: China yellow beans

The variety of beans known as china yellow beans

UNSPSC 50401816 China yellow beans is a Commodity code that sees little relevant recent activity. The code nominally covers a specific legume commodity, but the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under it involve fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child care feeding operations—work that spans apples, carrots, potatoes, produce mixes, and eggs rather than China yellow beans specifically. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests the code is either misdirected in issuing agencies' taxonomies or represents a dormant commodity line item within broader fresh-produce categories.

When opportunities do appear, issuing bodies include school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Austin ISD, Meriden Public Schools, McAllen ISD), county school systems (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Douglas County, and others across Georgia), special-purpose child nutrition authorities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools), and state departments of criminal justice (Texas TDCJ) procuring for institutional feeding. Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with scattered activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 school year (due June 22, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for canning operations (bids due June 23, 2026), and Northside ISD's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce delivery to 117 campuses across San Antonio (sealed bids due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM CT). Most school district procurements structure awards on a line-item basis, permit multiple vendor awards, require HACCP certification and Buy American compliance, and emphasize local or regional sourcing where cost and quality permit. The code shows no clear concentration of repeat buyers and covers institutional consumption rather than a distinct China yellow beans market segment.
