UNSPSC 50401840: Moth beans

The variety of beans known as moth beans

UNSPSC 50401840 Moth beans is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying under the recent opportunities tagged to it. The available solicitations center on fresh produce supply for school nutrition programs, child care food service, and institutional meal operations—primarily apples, bananas, carrots, potatoes, peppers, broccoli, leafy greens, berries, and eggs—rather than moth beans specifically. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; most opportunities are tagged to broader fresh produce families (such as fresh fruits and vegetables for nutrition programs) rather than to a discrete legume commodity.

School districts, county boards of education, and special-purpose districts (particularly in Georgia and Texas) dominate the issuing bodies. Representative recent solicitations include the Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (posted April 13, 2026, with proposals due March 11, 2026), the Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (posted April 14, 2026, responses due May 7, 2026), the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026), and multiple Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFBs for carrots, white potatoes, and sweet potatoes for canning and institutional food service (posted in February and March 2026 with March response dates). Georgia and Texas show the heaviest recent activity, with additional solicitations from Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut. Pursue interest in this code should be minimal absent a genuine sourcing relationship with moth bean production; the current tagging reflects taxonomy misalignment rather than actual institutional demand for this specific legume.
