UNSPSC 50401817: Dragon tongue beans

The variety of beans known as dragon tongue beans

UNSPSC 50401817 Dragon tongue beans is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little relevant activity—the code appears misapplied to the opportunities listed. The available records document fresh produce and grocery procurement across school districts, county boards of education, state agencies, and child nutrition programs, but dragon tongue beans do not feature as a named line item or focal product in any of the posted solicitations. Instead, the opportunities reference broad fresh vegetable categories (carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, mixed produce assortments, and general farm-to-school sourcing) without isolating specialty legumes. The mismatch between the commodity code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests this code either lacks current state and local demand or is not the appropriate classification for the opportunities posted.

State and local buyers sourcing fresh produce include school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Bartow County Schools in Georgia, Glynn County Schools in Georgia), county boards of education (Dougherty County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Henry County in Georgia), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and the City of San Antonio's Department of Human Services. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (response due July 29, 2026), Bartow County Schools' RFP 10-2026-019 for Local Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (response due June 22, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's bulk procurements for white potatoes (IW253099, due June 23, 2026) and sweet potatoes for canning (IW253121, due June 23, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school nutrition programs, though Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, and other jurisdictions also post seasonal or annual produce contracts. To assess pursuit viability for specialty legume distribution, verify whether state and local procurement systems have reclassified this code or whether demand exists under a different UNSPSC tier.
