UNSPSC 50401822: French navy beans

The variety of beans known as french navy beans

UNSPSC 50401822 French navy beans is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food service operations—typically as one line item within larger institutional meal-supply contracts serving correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, schools, and other public facilities. The code does not appear as a standalone procurement focus; instead, French navy beans surface within multi-item IFBs and RFPs covering food service groceries, fresh produce, and consumable food supplies. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state corrections agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Early County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Bartow County), county parks departments (Collier County), and regional health authorities. State departments and correctional systems dominate the recent activity, with Texas appearing most frequently across multiple facility-level solicitations.

Recent opportunities show French navy beans embedded within broader food procurements rather than as discrete line items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017872 (posted August 11, 2026; due August 25, 2026) for consumables and noncontract food items for Lufkin State Supported Living Center—a 20-line-item IFB covering prepared foods and food service supplies. Similarly, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple fresh produce and bulk staple-item solicitations throughout the summer and fall of 2026, including procurement for institutional food warehouses in Snyder and Wynne. The Illinois Department of Corrections requested produce deliveries for Joliet Treatment Center under IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849 (posted August 27, 2026; due September 3, 2026), with a small business set-aside. School districts in Georgia—Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, and Early County—have issued fresh produce bids for the 2026-2027 school year requiring local sourcing within 400 miles and weekly or bi-weekly delivery to central warehouses or individual sites. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, with additional procurement in Florida (Collier County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Response dates cluster in late August through October 2026 for fall-fiscal-year contract awards.
