UNSPSC 50401844: Pinto beans

The variety of beans known as pinto beans

UNSPSC 50401844 Pinto beans (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under this code. The most recent opportunities tagged with this UNSPSC code span fresh produce supply broadly—fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and specialty items for school nutrition programs, Head Start child care, senior services, and institutional food service—rather than pinto beans specifically. School districts, county boards of education, independent school districts, state departments, and municipal agencies across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut are the primary issuing bodies, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant buyer segment. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) requesting fresh fruit and vegetable snacks through RFB 4163 (due July 29, 2026) with weekly delivery of ready-to-eat produce; Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. soliciting frozen foods and produce through IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) covering approximately 32,409 cases; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting sweet potatoes for canning (IFB IW253121, due June 23, 2026) and white potatoes in bulk (IFB IW253099, due June 23, 2026); and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio seeking fresh produce for child nutrition through RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) for delivery to 117 campuses. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa posted RFP 26039RFPDST for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with proposals due March 11, 2026 and estimated annual budget of $600,000.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, Douglas County school systems), Texas (TDCJ, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Northside ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and Florida (Hillsborough County). Secondary activity appears in Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools, $3.1 million anticipated contract value), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). Issuers include state agriculture departments, school nutrition programs across 30+ districts in Georgia cooperative procurement, state criminal justice agencies, and municipal Head Start and senior services. The code shows substantial recent activity, but commodity-level matching is poor—UNSPSC 50401844 nominally addresses pinto beans specifically, yet procurement actually covers mixed fresh produce categories, frozen foods, dairy, and protein. Vendors pursuing this code should expect broad produce requests and institutional food service requirements rather than pinto bean–specific demand.
