UNSPSC 50401843: Nuna beans

The variety of beans known as nuna beans

UNSPSC 50401843 Nuna beans is a Commodity code that does not show recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, processed produce, eggs, and related food service items for school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and institutional food service operations. None of the opportunities reference nuna beans, dried beans, or legume products specifically; instead, they cover apple varieties, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, potatoes, onions, strawberries, tomatoes, and similar commodity vegetables and fruits commonly stocked by school districts and public institutions. The code assignment appears to be a taxonomic mismatch rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand for nuna beans under this Commodity code.

Activity concentrates in Georgia school districts, Texas state agencies (primarily the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and school districts), and Florida; secondary activity appears in Connecticut, Missouri, and scattered single-jurisdiction solicitations across the South and Southwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Bartow County School System RFP for local fresh fruits and vegetables due June 22, 2026; the Dougherty County Board of Education sealed bid for fresh produce (40 line items including apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and tomatoes) due June 16, 2026; the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, spanning 30 districts across two Georgia regions with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending, due March 4, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for bulk white potatoes due June 23, 2026. Issuing bodies are predominantly school nutrition programs (elementary through secondary public school districts), state correctional institutions, Head Start child care programs, and municipal senior services divisions. The code shows substantial recent procurement volume in the fresh-produce-for-institutional-food-service category but negligible evidence of nuna bean purchasing.
