UNSPSC 50401823: Giant white coco beans

The variety of beans known as giant white coco beans

UNSPSC 50401823 Giant white coco beans is a Commodity code that spans fresh and dried legume procurement for state and local institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, school districts, and senior programs. The code sees active demand across Texas and Georgia, where state departments of criminal justice, health and human services commissions, and school nutrition programs regularly solicit fresh produce and staple food items. While the nominal code title references giant white coco beans specifically, state and local buyers tag procurement under this code for broader fresh produce, legumes, and prepared food products needed to supply cafeterias, canteens, and food warehouses serving correctional populations, mental health facilities, supported living centers, and school lunch programs.

Texas dominates recent activity, with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple RFPs and IFBs for fresh fruit and vegetables to regional food warehouses (Snyder, Wynne, Palestine) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission conducting frequent ITBs for food service groceries and consumables at state supported living centers in Lufkin and Mexia. Georgia school districts—including Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County—are actively bidding fresh produce contracts for the 2026-2027 school year with sealed bid or RFP processes. Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health facilities at Joliet and Madden MHC are bidding fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) and Head Start of Greater Dallas (Texas) represent non-state buyers soliciting under produce-related codes. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026), the TDCJ RFP for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine (due October 19, 2026), Bartow County School System's RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (due September 3, 2026), which carries a small business set-aside. Collier County, Florida issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with local-vendor preference scoring (10 points). Many solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, prevailing wage certification, product traceability documentation, quality guarantees, delivery windows (typically 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.), and F.O.B. Destination pricing with prepaid freight.
