UNSPSC 50401830: Jackson wonder beans

The variety of beans known as jackson wonder beans

UNSPSC 50401830 Jackson wonder beans is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce procurement by state and local government food service operations, principally school nutrition programs and institutional cafeterias. The code captures fresh beans and similar legume vegetables sourced for student meals, senior nutrition initiatives, correctional facility dining, and child care food programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers source these items as line-item offerings within broader fresh produce bids rather than as standalone single-commodity contracts, reflecting integrated meal-planning workflows where beans compete for shelf space and budget allocation alongside carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, and other staple vegetables. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (ranging from small rural systems to large urban districts serving 20,000 or more students), county school boards, state departments of criminal justice, Head Start organizations, and municipal senior services divisions. The procurement mix leans heavily toward school nutrition programs preparing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meals, with secondary volume from correctional institutions, early childhood programs, and aging-services initiatives. School districts dominate the activity, often issuing annual contracts with multiple renewal options and requiring weekly or biweekly deliveries to dozens of dispersed school sites.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, where recent activity includes procurement from Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, alongside Texas Department of Criminal Justice institutional food service bids and independent school districts in San Antonio, Austin, and McAllen. Secondary activity appears in Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools).
