UNSPSC 50401825: Green romano beans

The variety of beans known as green romano beans

UNSPSC 50401825 Green romano beans is a Commodity code representing a single produce line item that state and local governments buy primarily as part of broader fresh produce supply contracts for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code embedded within larger fresh-produce RFPs and IFBs where green romano beans appear as one line item among dozens of fresh vegetables, rather than as standalone procurement.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county school districts (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County in Georgia; Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin), county social services (Collier County Parks and Recreation, Marion Health Care Coalition), and other state-supported institutions. Texas state agencies and Georgia school nutrition programs dominate recent activity. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026, IFB notice), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitation IW267376 for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine, Texas (due October 19, 2026, RFP notice), Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables for school year 2026-2027 (due June 22, 2026, with contract award anticipated July 20, 2026), and Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 24 school nutrition sites (due June 16, 2026, IFB notice). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with scattered activity in Illinois and Florida. No single vendor holds exclusive or repeat-winner status in the recent record; awards are made on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value basis with contract terms typically running one to three years with renewal options.
