UNSPSC 50401843: Nuna beans

The variety of beans known as nuna beans

UNSPSC 50401843 Nuna beans is a Commodity code that spans dried and specialty legume procurement by state and local institutions — particularly correctional facilities, state mental health and supported living centers, school districts, and county health services. State and local buyers under this code procure dried beans, fresh produce, and related food service items primarily through institutional food service contracts that supply cafeterias, canteens, and meal programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bartow County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bryan County Schools), and county jurisdictions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). State-supported living centers and correctional facilities appear as the most frequent repeat buyers, with multiple concurrent solicitations from TDCJ and HHSC. The work includes supply contracts for fresh produce and dried goods delivered to institutional food warehouses and individual facility sites, often bundled with broader food service and supply items rather than as standalone nuna bean contracts.

Recent opportunities reflect activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018082 (Lufkin State Supported Living Center consumables, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017799 (Mexia State Supported Living Center food service groceries, due August 25, 2026), both covering food service items including fresh produce and prepared foods. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations including IW267420 (Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026) and IW267411 (Wynne Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026).
