UNSPSC 50401833: Kidney beans

The variety of beans known as kidney beans

UNSPSC 50401833 Kidney beans, a Commodity code, covers the supply of dried and canned legume products to state and local institutional food service operations, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, and senior services. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on fresh produce and prepared foods for cafeteria, canteen, and dining operations rather than kidney beans specifically; the code appears underutilized in current procurement activity relative to the broader fresh-produce and food-service categories dominating recent postings. State health and human services agencies, corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and county/municipal food service operators issue the majority of solicitations, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Illinois Department of Corrections, Georgia school systems, and Collier County (Florida) representing repeat buyers across multiple recent opportunities. The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ facilities across multiple locations), Illinois (Department of Corrections and Mental Health), and Georgia (school districts and county systems), with secondary activity in Florida and Wisconsin.

Representative recent opportunities demonstrate the institutional food-service demand across the code's tier, though kidney beans as a specific commodity appear rarely as a line item. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (posted October 16, 2026; due October 23, 2026) for consumables and food service supplies to Lufkin State Supported Living Center, encompassing 22 line items with estimated annual quantities of 1–24 cases per item; delivery required within seven days of order on F.O.B. Destination terms with prepaid freight. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited fresh fruit and vegetable supply to multiple food warehouse locations (IW267420 Snyder, IW267411 Wynne, both due October 14, 2026) via electronic portal submission. The Illinois Department of Corrections (IFB 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, posted August 27, 2026; due September 3, 2026) sought fresh produce delivery bi-weekly to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside, specifying 14+ produce items with USDA-grade requirements, F.O.B. Destination pricing, and prevailing-wage compliance. Broader food-service solicitations (such as HHSC's canteen and food-service grocery bids for Mexia and Lufkin facilities) include kidney beans or similar canned legumes as line items within larger commodity groups, but kidney beans as a standalone procurement remain sparse in the recent-opportunities block.
