UNSPSC 50401838: Monstoller wild goose beans

The variety of beans known as monstoller wild goose beans

UNSPSC 50401838 Monstoller wild goose beans, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers a specialty legume, but the recent opportunities tagged under it involve fresh produce and grocery procurement across school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives — work that is fundamentally misaligned with the code's stated scope. The issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hillsborough County, Savannah-Chatham, Northside Independent, Austin Independent, McAllen Independent, Henry County, Bulloch County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Early County, and Bartow County), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), Head Start child care programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas), county school systems (Douglas County), the City of San Antonio, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative). These buyers are predominantly K–12 school nutrition programs procuring mixed fresh produce, commodity foods, and prepared items under RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks due July 29, 2026; Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for grocery products (32,409 cases) due June 24, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multiple IFBs for carrots, sweet potatoes, and white potatoes for canning (June–July 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026, estimated award August 4, 2026, with $600,000 annual budget); Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026); and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 school districts in two geographic areas ($4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, due March 4, 2026). The code does not reflect actual procurement of monstoller wild goose beans or close botanical variants; the tagging appears to be administrative misclassification rather than a valid commodity signal.
