UNSPSC 50401818: European soldier beans

The variety of beans known as european soldier beans

UNSPSC 50401818 European soldier beans is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct relevance to what government bodies are actually buying. The single documented opportunity directly tagged to this code—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's procurement for sweet potatoes for canning under IFB IW253121 (posted June 23, 2026)—does not involve European soldier beans at all. The broader recent-opportunities dataset shows heavy school nutrition and child nutrition procurement across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut, but the scope centers on fresh produce (carrots, potatoes, apples, lettuce, berries, tomatoes), institutional food service (frozen proteins, grains, condiments, dairy), and USDA-reimbursable items, not dried beans or legumes specifically. Code 50401818 itself appears to be a narrow botanical-classification node with minimal current state and local demand visibility.

The issuing bodies pursuing general produce and grocery procurement span school districts (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio; Madison Metropolitan School District, Wisconsin; Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools; Dougherty County Board of Education; Bryan County Schools; Glynn County Schools), county school systems (Henry County Schools, Douglas County School System, Liberty County Schools), transit or institutional food service agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas; Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Rockwood School District), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia, State of Texas). Geographic clustering is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce to all district campuses five days per week (sealed bid due May 7, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB for 40 fresh produce line items (sealed bid due June 16, 2026 at 11:30 a.m.), and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (proposals due March 4, 2026). No recent opportunities document procurement of European soldier beans, dried beans, or similar legume commodities under this code. If your firm supplies fresh produce or specialty agricultural items to institutional food service, monitor state and local school nutrition RFPs in the Southeast and Texas; this code itself does not appear to be an active procurement vehicle at this time.
