UNSPSC 50401820: Flageolet beans

The variety of beans known as flageolet beans

UNSPSC 50401820 Flageolet beans, a Commodity code, is not actively procured by state and local governments in the recent opportunities shown in this dataset. The code nominally describes a specific dried legume product, but none of the recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit flageolet beans; instead, they request fresh produce broadly (carrots, sweet potatoes, white potatoes), fresh fruits and vegetables for school nutrition and institutional feeding programs, and mixed grocery or food service items. The mismatch between the code and the work actually being solicited suggests either coding errors in the source records or that flageolet beans are bundled into broader commodity procurements and not separately tracked.

School districts, county boards of education, state institutional feeding programs (notably the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and child nutrition agencies are the primary issuing bodies across recent opportunities. Solicitations cluster in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Missouri; the code shows no distinct geographic concentration, reflecting that institutional food service procurement is distributed across jurisdictions nationwide. The few opportunities nominally tagged to this code actually request fresh produce (Texas TDCJ potatoes and carrots under IFBs IW253121, IW253099, and IW241979; Georgia school districts for fresh produce and produce contracts; Hillsborough County, Florida for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program; and Meriden, Connecticut for school food service) with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. Without recent opportunities explicitly requesting flageolet beans as a discrete line item or contract focus, the code presents limited clarity on current demand or pursuit viability; business development professionals should verify whether flageolet beans are embedded in broader RFP scopes or reserved for direct manufacturer relationships rather than open procurement channels.
