UNSPSC 50401824: Green beans

The variety of beans known as green beans

UNSPSC 50401824 Green beans (Commodity) is a fresh produce supply line under which state and local governments procure fresh vegetables, typically alongside broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable contracts, for institutional food service operations at correctional facilities, mental health centers, state-supported living centers, school districts, and senior centers. Recent opportunities show that green beans are acquired as part of comprehensive fresh-produce solicitations rather than as standalone line items; the code appears embedded within larger food-service buys that specify multiple produce varieties with USDA quality standards, F.O.B. Destination delivery, and compliance with institutional food-safety and nutritional requirements.

State and local procurement under this code spans correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Illinois Department of Mental Health, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools), and senior-services divisions (City of San Antonio). Texas dominates recent activity, particularly through TDCJ fresh-produce RFPs and HHS food-service IFBs; Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health also show regular procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Fresh Fruit & Vegetables solicitation for Palestine (IW267376, proposals due October 19, 2026) and the Wynne Food Warehouse (IW267411, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections Fresh Produce procurement for Joliet Treatment Center (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, small business set-aside, bi-weekly deliveries, quotes due September 3, 2026); and Madison Metropolitan School District's Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks RFB (4163, approximately 5,900 servings weekly, sourcing required within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin, bids due July 29, 2026). Pricing is typically firm and fixed on a unit or per-pound basis, delivery windows are specified by facility, and contracts commonly run fiscal-year terms with renewal options; prevailing wage and insurance requirements (general liability typically $500,000 to $1 million) are standard across issuing bodies.
