UNSPSC 50401832: Kentucky wonder beans

The variety of beans known as kentucky wonder beans

UNSPSC 50401832 Kentucky wonder beans is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, senior services, child care facilities, and correctional institutions. State and local governments buy fresh vegetables including beans, carrots, potatoes, and mixed produce under this code, sourcing both bulk commodity volumes and smaller specialty items to meet federal nutrition compliance standards for K–12 lunch programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program distribution, Head Start centers, and public institutional cafeterias. Recent solicitations show emphasis on traceability documentation, local-sourcing preferences where cost permits, food safety certifications (HACCP, GAP audit), and weekly or twice-weekly delivery schedules to centralized warehouses or direct-to-school locations.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Glynn County, Douglas County, Henry County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Muscogee County) and Texas (Madison Metropolitan, Northside ISD, Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri). State departments and correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) post recurring bids for bulk carrots, potatoes, and sweet potatoes for canning operations; Head Start programs and senior services add secondary demand. Representative opportunities include Bartow County Schools RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables (due June 22, 2026, IFB format), Dougherty County Board of Education sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce covering 40 line items (due June 16, 2026, IFB), and Northside ISD RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce serving 83 elementary schools with five-days-per-week delivery (due May 7, 2026, RFP format). Geographic spread is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia school systems) and Texas (school districts and TDCJ), with emerging activity in Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri. Pricing in recent awards shows cost-plus structures tied to USDA market indexes, firm fixed rates for seasonal contracts, and preference discounts of 5–20 percent on organic or locally-grown items. Typical contract terms run July 1 through June 30 with one to four optional renewal periods; insurance requirements range from $500,000 to $2 million general liability, and bidders face competitive pressure on delivery frequency, product traceability, and compliance with Buy American provisions.
